Rays, Phillies Scouting Nationals LHP Foster Griffin
Both playoff contenders had scouts at Griffin's recent start, raising the possibility Washington could move the left-hander at the trade deadline.
The Rays and Phillies each had a scout present at Foster Griffin's most recent start, per The Athletic. Griffin has been one of the more impressive arms in baseball this season, posting a 2.76 ERA over 124 innings with a strong walk rate of 5.6%. His underlying metrics — including a 3.75 SIERA and elevated strand rate — suggest some regression risk, but he remains an attractive trade target. Whether the Nationals choose to move him is still an open question.
