Report: Ken Griffey not to return to White Sox next season

[maelstroom]

I just saw it on the ticker on ESPNEWS. I couldn't find an article on it yet though, so sorry if you wanted it

 

[jpzx]

So he's going to be exploring FA or retiring?

Yup.......but many said it wouldn't make sense position wise or something. Wonder where he'll end up

all it says is that "he will explore other offers"

 

[MON5T3R]

He didnt belong in Chicago.

 

[mr jordan04]

go back to seattle

 

[tbone95860]

He should go back to Seattle, play a season or 2, then retire.

come join the mariners again junior, we'd love to have you back

 

[khoshabasfinest23]

go back to seattle, play 1 more year. and then retire so he can go into the HOF as a mariner. the way he should go in. i dont think junior has much left in himsadly.

He does need to come back to Seattle. Maybe bring some talent for these bums we've got taking the field every night (minus Ichiro of course).

 

[kingjay718]

He doesn't have much left. A lot of NTers pump him up, because of his sneaker line.

He should return to Seattle, and wrap it up. But he claims he wants a ring, so he should come to my Yankees

 

[jordanxi45]

My favorite player needs to come to Oakland or go back to Seattle.

But he probably would want to go to a contender, he'll never be a Yankee.

Devil Rays? Boston?

Go get a ring JR, you deserve it.

I thought you hated the yankees

 

[Sinner]

As much as I'd like to see him back in Seattle, I don't see it happening... dunno if the M's are up for making 'sentimental'deals...

Yankees? didn't he say before that he would never join them?

 

[kingjay718]

@prophecy. Not true.

 

[skillz]

The Yankees don't need him

 

[downyboy]

this was known several months ago when they white sox first acquired him. they had already decided to not pick up his option back then.

That would be the best way for him to end his career. And the Mariners need some serious help anyways.

 

[RyGuy45]

Kid's still got a little pop but is batting average has been amazingly low for some time....He's had .264, .247, .253, .252, and .249 BA seasons since2002.

Still, he missed about 20 games again last season but knocked in another 90 runs, and had 71 RBIs this year. I agree with saying selfishly I hope he lands backin Seattle but if he didnt I wouldnt be down about as maybe our last images of him in Seattle should be the previous ones. Maybe he can latch on to a potentialcontender and concentrate on DHing

 

[rsdplaya]

he's just not valuable to a team anymore.

 

[foshizzle]

Man I would have to go to a game or 2 if the kid were back in Seattle.

 

[xxtowrxx]

He'll go back to Seattle ...

 

[o fenomeno]

i want him to come back to seattle so bad, but the mariners are rebuilding after a horrible season, and the last thing they need is to take up cap and rosterspace with griffey. actually no, !%++ that, give me back my childhood hero. griffey ftw!
