Hope it helps you


Besides available, "up for grabs" also means "not firmly decided"; presumably the etymology for this was something like "available to be changed".

I can't find a dictionary definition saying this, but consider these sentences taken from Google books.

1989

Even if this is so, it is still up for grabs whether God is in some sense posterior to some of His constituents

1989

Between this beginning and end Pip's destiny seems up for grabs as he is lured away from virtue by the ignis fatuus of gentility

1999

Nothing seems to be sacred. Nothing is forbidden. Everything is up for grabs.

If you substitute available for up for grabs, these sentences don't make any sense.

So your sentence means:

I don’t want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything could change.
