In a recent discussion post, Nationals beat writer Spencer Nusbaum mentioned the presence of scouts from both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals pitcher Foster Griffin's most recent start. After the Nats got trade season started on Sunday by acquiring Connelly Early from the Boston Red Sox for Curtis Mead, and with the trade deadline approaching this upcoming Monday, Griffin is going to be a hotly coveted piece on the market. The Phillies in this scenario get Griffin for two months, before the Nationals intend to make an all-out push for the Postseason, and the Nats get future assets in return. Perhaps of even more interest to baseball fans, this trade would continue the infamous Delmon Young Trade Tree. As of a week ago, the team was reportedly still undecided as to what his future was with the team.
