When he says the thing about the teams needing to make a deal, I think he meant that it's not up to him. Instead of meaning they MUST make a deal (like he wanted the trade to happen), Griffey Jr. meant that it was up to the Reds and Sox to get a trade done, and then propose it to him.
Sort of sounds like he wants to play for the Cubs, but who would want to play for them. I mean dont you want to tplay for a winning team?
