Phillies Eye Griffin for Playoff Push | Washington Nationals News

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On July 27th, the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to upgrade their roster as they push for the playoffs. They've been watching Foster Griffin, a left-handed pitcher for the Washington Nationals. This doesn't mean a trade is happening, but it shows they're at least considering him.
Griffin has been having a strong season for the Nationals. He currently leads Major League Baseball with 12 wins and has a solid earned run average of 2.76. He also boasts an impressive strikeout to walk ratio.
The Nationals picked Griffin up after he spent 3 years playing in Japan. He made an all-star team in his first year back in the States, which has clearly caught the attention of other teams. With Griffin set to become a free agent after this season, the Nationals are open to trading him. Scouts have been checking him out, and the Phillies are one of the teams showing interest. It's still early, and there's no guarantee anything will come of this. But if the Phillies believe Griffin can help their playoff run, they might make a move to bring him to Philadelphia.
