Delgado had to have another surgery. Cust is available. He would be an upgrade, but no way we can carry three DHs on this team.
If they had any brains at this point they would cut Sweeney, sign Cust, and just plant Griffey somewhere at the end of the bench for an occasional cameo during home games.
We'd pretty much be in the same spot we are now with 2 pure DHs, in this case they would both be lefties though, which makes Griffey even more pointless, but whatever.
Against righties they could use Bradley in LF and Cust at DH. Against lefties, use some sort of rotation between Bradley, Tui, and Byrnes in the LF/DH spots.
It isn't ideal roster construction, but I'd rather have Cust than Griffey vs righties, and then you open up at-bats for Tui/Byrnes (moreso Tui) against lefties.
