Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
Wow, interesting to see the return. I always enjoyed Griffey's stay but I imagine he finishes out the year and possibly retires.

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
Wow! That was fast. I wonder if any of the things that went on over the weekend sped things up?

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

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
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...

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
Along with players coming here I wonder how much $$ will each team be on the hook for salary wise?

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
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.

Re: Griffey Jr Traded to the White Sox (Pending Griffey Approval)
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'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.

My 5 yo son will be crushed.
 But this is a good move for this franchise and Jr.
