In that interview I thought I heard him saying it WAS a possibility.
44 minutes ago44 min How about this? Cleveland has not been known in recent seasons to be particularly busy at deadline time, but they were as active as any team in the wild-card mix over the past few days. Naylor no longer had a path to playing time, so flipping him for an intriguing strikeout artist in Yoho made sense to bolster the bullpen. Adell has not had a great year but brings rare bat speed to a lineup desperate for some thump and is under team control for 2027 as well. Lowe was crushing right-handers (.885 OPS) with Cincinnati, providing a veteran lefty bat to boost the Guardians' first-base production, which has been sorely lacking. Finally, the Guardians made a surprising swap with Washington, leveraging the depth of their farm system to add an All-Star lefty in Griffin, who gives them a much more capable rotation option behind their terrific top two of Parker Messick and Gavin Williams, as Tanner Bibee, Slade Cecconi and Joey Cantillo have been admirably durable but maddeningly inconsistent this season. All in all, it wasn't the splashiest deadline for the Guardians, but they got meaningfully better, which is no small achievement in a weak and winnable AL Central.

Just saying...."A 2027 qualifying offer for Griffin would be around $22-23 million, about four times the value of his current deal. If Griffin did not accept a qualifying offer from the Nationals, the Nats would receive a Draft pick should he sign with another club."(Doubt CLE exercises that option unless the FA/QO system completely changes.)That said, he's only costing them less than the Sox owe Austin Hays for the remainder of the season.
