Jul 19 - According to the Dayton Daily News, Ken Griffey Jr. would accept a trade "only to the right team." As a 10-and-5 guy (10 years or more in the majors and five years or more with the same team), Griffey has final say on any trade. "It would have to be a top contender because I want to win," he told the newspaper. "I want a World Series ring. I'm tired of looking at my dad's three World Series rings."
Griffey probably is not marketable, even though he is dazzling scouts with his recent play. The Reds would have to eat a lot of his salary. He makes a base of $12.5 million through 2008 with $6.5 million more a year in deferred money, with no interest until the contract expires after the 2008 season. Then he makes $6.5 million a year through 2025 at 4 percent compound interest.
