Nationals Quietly Maximize Griffin | Washington Nationals News

The Washington Nationals are quietly turning heads with a surprisingly strong season, still clinging to wild card hopes despite slim odds. As the trade deadline looms, instead of selling, they’re rumored to be dangling contract extensions—like for pitcher Foster Griffin—to inflate his value. By hinting they might keep him, they’re forcing rivals to up their offers, especially since Griffin’s been pitching like a gem. With depth already added via Connelly, this strategy lets them potentially land top-tier pitching and prospects without sacrificing competitiveness. It’s a savvy, two-pronged move: win now, and position themselves for a bigger payday later. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
