Nationals weigh trade options for left‑hander Foster Griffin

Foster Griffin, a 24‑year‑old left‑handed starter, has posted a 3. 45 ERA over 12 starts this season, drawing interest from several playoff contenders.

Washington, already in a tight Wild Card race, faces a dilemma between adding immediate talent and preserving long‑term assets. Analysts warn that moving Griffin could leave the rotation thin and diminish the team's trade leverage before the July deadline.

For now, the Nationals appear to be weighing offers while keeping the pitcher on their roster.
