But Griffey's agent said Wednesday the team recently called the outfielder to deny a trade rumor that had the Reds right fielder going to the Milwaukee Brewers. Brian Goldberg said Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky told him "there was nothing to the Milwaukee rumor that got started, and there was nothing on at this time." Neither Krivsky nor Reds chief executive officer Bob Castellini would comment on specific trade talk. Castellini made it sound as if the club is not getting ready to turn over the roster. "We're no more or less active than we were two weeks ago," he said. But in a column written by Peter Gammons and published Tuesday on ESPN .com, Griffey said he believed the team would try to trade him before the Aug. 31 playoff roster deadline. "Logically, they (the Reds) are going to get a better deal now than at the end of the season," Griffey told Gammons. |
Reds officials on Wednesday refused to comment specifically on an ESPN report published Tuesday that quoted Ken Griffey Jr. as saying he thought the team would try to trade him.
