Pm fit photo Ken Griffey or. Unhappy Mariner by Milton Kent. The Baltimore Sun picture Ken Griffey in an Atlanta braves uniform or imagine him wearing the colors of the Toronto Blue jays. It happen could it the Seattle mariners could not possibly Deal Ken Griffey batting .323 with with 22 Home runs and 45 Bis to the fattest cats in baseball could they the answer is probably not but Griffey did make his dissatisfaction with the mariners seemingly perpetual losing condition known this week slating that he would not sign an Extension to his contract which expires after the 1996 season unless Seattle management made a deeper commitment to winning. And before you discount the notion that a megastar would be traded remember that players of the stature off rank Robinson Jose Canseco Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Wayne Gretzky have found themselves wearing new uniforms in their prime. So lets assume for the Sake of argument and a bit of fantasy that Griffey who told the Tacoma Wash news Tribune that he was Happy with the City of Seattle was unhappy enough to demand that the mariners place his name analysis on the trading Block. What exactly would it take for a learn to pry away such a remarkable Talent a a he a the Best player in the game. 1 done to think you could offer enough to get that Guy a said Detroit manager Sparky Anderson. A the might take our whole team. There a no telling what you could get for certainly a 24-year-old player who possesses Griffey s Complete package of Speed defense and Power would command a hefty return package of everyday players and or pitchers As Well As top prospects. A i still believe Griffey s better than that a Anderson said. A sometimes you get to the Point where you re so Good where there a nothing that anybody can offer for you that a of maybe Griffey a not that Good but he or Frank Thomas of the Chicago White sox the reigning american league most valuable player who like Griffey is on a Pace to Challenge if not break Roger Marisa single season Home run record carry the highest Price tags in the game. A the thing with Griffey is that when the Bat drops he a playing just As Good on defense As when he has a Bat in his hands a Anderson said. A the other Guy Thomas can to do now that that a settled the matter comes Back to who could make the mariners an offer they refuse. Peter Gammons an esp baseball analyst said the braves and the Blue jays no each possess talented regulars and a deep farm systems could make offers that might satisfy the mariners a if Atlanta finished out of the playoffs i could see them making a bid if they Felt they had to keep their ratings up on Tbs the sup station that carries braves games. I can to see anybody else though a Gammons said. However Gammons and Anderson doubt that the mariners would part with Griffey the acknowledged Cornerstone of a franchise that has had Little foundation in its 18-year history. A if they lost him that would be the end of the franchise a Gammons said. A if this business is going to work there he has to be there. For them to Trade him would be for them management to say this business wont said Anderson a the has become so big that the people out there actually come to see him. They can to afford to lose
