Foster Griffin's Future Uncertain as MLB Trade Deadline Approaches

The Washington Nationals face a decision on pitcher Foster Griffin as the MLB trade deadline nears, weighing a potential trade against a contract extension.

The MLB trade deadline is approaching, and the Washington Nationals are considering the future of pitcher Foster Griffin. The team must decide whether to extend Griffin's contract or trade him, with both options still on the table as of Saturday morning.

Griffin, who has a 3.06 ERA over 129 1/3 innings this season, signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal after returning from Japan. His lower salary makes him appealing to various teams, especially as other left-handed starters like Tarik Skubal and Robbie Ray are also available for trade.

While the Nationals could attempt to re-sign Griffin after a trade, such strategies are often unsuccessful. The team's financial strategy under the new front office remains unclear, but speculation suggests Griffin could command a three-year deal worth between $36 million and $42 million.
