What it concludes

Ken Griffey Jr. demanded a trade from the Seattle Mariners in autumn 1999 primarily due to family reasons and geography, wanting to live closer to his family home in Orlando, Florida.
Griffey rejected a trade to the New York Mets after initially agreeing to it because he was frustrated by the Mariners shopping him to teams outside his approved list.
The Cincinnati Reds successfully acquired Griffey after offering a trade package centered around Mike Cameron, Antonio Perez, Brett Tomko, and Jake Meyer, while refusing to include Pokey Reese.
