According to a source cited by MLB reporter Mark Feinsand, a contract extension between Foster Griffin and the Washington Nationals is considered very unlikely. That development makes a trade of the All-Star starting pitcher a genuine near-term possibility. Griffin's scheduled Friday start could be his final appearance in a Nationals uniform. The situation is being actively monitored by reporters covering the Washington beat.
