Foster Griffin's Nats Debut: Trade Buzz Grows

On April 22nd, Fosse Griffin spent the last three seasons dominating in Japan with the

Yomiyuri Giants posting a 6-1 record in 20-25.

He jumped back to the states this off-season, signing a one-year deal worth $5.5 million

with the Washington Nationals after rumors.

Linked him to teams like the San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays.

Early on, he's been lights out as their ace, going 3-0 in 5, starts with a 3.38 ERA

over 26.2 innings.

That's leading the team, and it's helped push the Nats to an 11-13 start.

But folks are buzzing, because Washington isn't seen as a real contender this year.

Analysts are already talking trade value for this lefty breakout star before he hits

free agency again.

Bleacher reports Carrie Miller calls him a prime deadline target if he stays healthy, comparing

him to Eric Feta who blew up after Korea and God, dealt from the White Socks.

Contenders always need arms like that come July.

If the Nats keep sliding, Flipping Griffin makes total sense.

They'd grab prospects or pieces in return for a guy who might not stick around past

this.

Season anyway.
