The Reds will not pick up Ken Griffey's $16.5 million option for next year. He's not going to agree to any "hometown discount," either. He already did that, nine years ago. Look what it got him. The club will deal Adam Dunn, too, because it can't afford not to. And then the "era," such as it is, will be over. The Reds will announce they are "going in a different direction" and give Griffey and Dunn copies of the home game. Sometimes, you have to burn the village to save it. -- Cincinnati Enquirer

I never cared for Dunn, and will be glad to see him go. I hate the fact that he wears Eric Davis' jersey.

I know they cant' keep him, but I really wish they could come to an agreement. I don't want to see Griffey go. H eis in my top 5 all time favorites.

Ya thats a good idea they are both getting old and it could be hard to afford them when there contracts run out. So they might as well try to get a good value out of them now. They already dealt out Griffey so for Dunn if they choose to trade him, they should pick up some younger prospects preferibly infielders.
