According to Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News, Ken Griffey Jr.'s remaining $8MM this year and his $16MM option/$4MM buyout next year will not deter the Mariners. The revelation that Junior may not require his '09 option exercised and the chunk of deferred money could indeed make the money a non-issue.
One question is whether the Reds will treat this as a salary dump or if they'll want a decent prospect in return. The other is whether Griffey would want to join the last place Mariners.

PLEASE DUMP grif. just get that OUT machine out of the lineup. today's game is baker the dumbest manager anywhere? griffey batting 161 vs lefties, and facing one of the best lefties in the game right now, and he STILL doesn't have him bunt. it was a foregone conclusion that griffey would do NOTHING in that situation. and would take TWO singles to score a runner from first, and then of course double play cuz runner was still at first. SICK of griffey, and SICK of baker coddlign his EGO>
