Would Griffey Welcome Deal Back To Seattle?
7th May, 2008 - 6:51 pm
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer - With rumors swirling that the Reds plan to deal outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. after he hits the 600th home run of his career, there seems to be a possibility that he could return to Seattle where his career began, according to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Griffey hasn't indicated a desire to leave Cincinnati, but hasn't brushed off the idea of returning to the Mariners either.

"I said the exact same thing last year," Griffey told a Cincinnati media horde. "So why is it such a big story now? If I would have changed anything from last year, it would be a story. But I said the same thing. What's the big deal?"

"Kenny is one of my all-time favorites," Seattle manager John McLaren said. "I think he was the player for the '90s. I can't comment on somebody else's player, but I think the world of him. I'm anxious for him to get his 600th homer, and I think if he had been healthy (since leaving Seattle) he'd be at 700 now." [READ]
