Griffey Jr.

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Reds general manager Jim Bowden is staying mum about any efforts by the team to trade Ken Griffey Jr.

Bowden said Friday that he has no trade talks in process with the Padres. He declined to specifically discuss any effort to trade Griffey.

The All-Star center fielder came to Cincinnati in a February 2000 trade with Seattle. But the 33-year-old Griffey has been hobbled by injuries during the past two seasons and his production has fallen off.

He played in 111 games for the Reds last year and only 70 this year.

The Reds and San Diego Padres agreed to trade Griffey for infielder-outfielder Phil Nevin last weekend, but the deal collapsed when Nevin wouldn't waive his no-trade clause. Nevin said he told the Padres that he wants to stay in San Diego because of family reasons.

Griffey has six years remaining on a nine-year deal with the Reds worth $117.5 million.
