Guardians Land Ace Griffin | Washington Nationals News

Cleveland Guardians pull off a blockbuster trade, landing elite lefty Foster Griffin from the Nationals in exchange for four minor league prospects. Griffin, who bounced back from early struggles by dominating in Japan and then outperformed expectations in Washington, is lights out this season with a 3.28 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. His cutter-heavy arsenal has made him a top-tier arm, tied for fourth in wins despite 19 homers surrendered. With his one-year, $5.5M deal set to expire, Griffin’s arrival signals Cleveland’s serious push to close the gap on the White Sox in the AL Central.
