How about Griffey??

[CubfaninCA]

Ok I know the last thing the Cubs need is another injury prone "star." :o However, Griffey's been healthy this year and is starting to put up really good numbers. Perhaps he finally decided to get serious about conditioning?? Can anyone say Moises Alou. :)

 

Anyway, I read on dugout dollar that his contract can be bought out after 2006. I'm uncertain of the terms though.

 

So if Cincy were to pick up the deferred money, would you take a shot on Griffey. Lee, Griffey, ARam would put lots of runs on the board. I'm not going to hold my breath on Dunn cause Cincy seems to be real stingy. Am guessing they'd be alot more willing to deal off Griffey. The Yankees would probably like to have him, but they have little to offer.

I'm not seeing where Griffey can be bought out after '06.
