    Wow, interesting to see the return. I always enjoyed Griffey's stay but I imagine he finishes out the year and possibly retires.

    Wow! That was fast. I wonder if any of the things that went on over the weekend sped things up?

    I think so. I'm guessing that Bob pushed for Wayne to trade him after his widely publicized gesture. That may have been his reason for going to Houston.

    The return won't be much. Griffey doesn't appear to much (if any) of an upgrade for the White Sox. I think they are basically taking him off our hands, though undoubtedly we will need to pay them to do it.

    Wayne's back? awesome

    I'm with you-- there'll be no return, unless the Reds kicked in a lot of cash.

    regardless of the return, I like the move. if Jr ends the season with the Reds, we won't know the effect of playing without him-- because Dusty's going to play him.

    also, the Reds need to play hungrier. Can't do that with Jr around.

    best of luck to Jr.

    I'm ready to end this chapter in Cincy. Now the Dunn chapter is a different story.

    I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

    If we can get a good player in return for Griffey there is no reason to trade Dunn also... unless of course the Rays want to overpay I'll take it...

    Along with players coming here I wonder how much $$ will each team be on the hook for salary wise?

    I'm in absolute shock! I don't think I'll believe it until I see him on the field in White and Black.

    I hope it happens.

    This was pretty much the last thing I expected to see, though I wouldn't be surprised if Griffey nixes the deal.

    I must say, if he approves the deal then I'll be rooting for the White Sox this fall.

    He better. He'll get grilled if he doesn't.

    He's always said he wants to win so now he has a chance to prove it by going to a good team. If he turns it down, it'll look like he doesn't care about winning and only wants to rack up stats.
