Nationals' Foster Griffin excels as trade deadline approaches in MLB

Foster Griffin is making waves for the Washington Nationals, holding a 2.68 ERA over 20 starts as the trade deadline approaches. He has recorded eight consecutive starts allowing no more than one earned run, a Nationals record. Griffin, who spent three years in Japan before returning to MLB, has been key to the Nationals' success as they sit at 52-51, their first time over.500 at this point in the season since 2019. The team faces a decision on whether to trade him for prospects or keep him as they push for postseason contention.
