Latest On Zack Greinke

By Zachary Links | July 11, 2012 at 6:53pm CDT

Despite the constant stream of rumors surrounding Brewers right-hander Zack Greinke, General Manager Doug Melvin still sounds like he wants to see how the team fares early in the second half before making deals, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Journal-Sentinel.  Haudricourt writes that moving their other upcoming free agents, however, won't be an easy task.  Randy Wolf and Francisco Rodriguez haven't done much to boost their trade value while Shaun Marcum is on the disabled list with an elbow issue.

Meanwhile, the Royals haven't ruled out bringing Greinke back if he hits the open market after the season, a person familiar with the team's thinking told Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.  The odds of a reunion aren't terribly strong though as Greinke is looking for a chance to win right away.

    Any truth to the rumor that a trade with the braves getting greinke and the brewers  getting Delgado and more are in more advanced stages?

    The AL Central is wide open. Add 1-2 frontline starters to the Royals and they could be leading the division right now. Take note, Zack.

      Add 2 frontline starters to pretty much any team and they could be leading their division.

        True, but adding 1-2 frontline starters to most teams would leave them with 3-4, while it would leave the Royals with only 1-2.

        That’s pretty funny. Old and cheap, but still funny.

    Seems like a tough deal to get done with the new CBA. The Brewers have to get more value than two compensation picks, and the acquiring team wouldn’t be able to recoup anything. It’ll be interesting to see if these bigger names actually go anywhere.

      I feel like it really shows how confident a team is in their winning it all in that particular year. Is Grienke (Or any other big name) that one missing piece? Or do you save your prospects and hope that not trading for him doesn’t cost you a championship?

    Beltran got a pretty great prospect back. So maybe.

    Bigger deal in the works.   May include Taylor Green and Matt Gamel in the trade.   I just heard this would be a multiple top prospect deal with an undisclosed AL team.  Trying to find out more.

      Gamel has negative trade value, as he’s out for the year with a torn ACL.

      Nice try though.

         Gamel would be a player to be named later in the deal.

      I could see a deal including Green, as that might explain a bit more why we sent him down to AAA the other day so he could get more consistent playing time: to re-establish value. But, if you actually heard this from a source, that source is way off, since you can’t trade a guy on the 60-day DL (unless, I believe, if the Commissioner gives his consent).

       These two players are potential candidates per my source.  This would give the acquiring team other assets in case Greinke doesn’t resign.  It may or may not be Green and Gamel, but don’t expect Greinke to be dealt alone if the Brewers are to get the prospects they are seeking.

        Care to specify who exactly your source says is the acquiring team?

        With Gamel out for the season he is not a trade candidate I would think.

    If the Angels can get Mark Teixiera for Casey Kotchman & Stephen Marek then I think the Braves could get Greinke for Tyler Pastornicky & Todd Redmond. HAHA! But that would mean Jack Wilson would have to play SS until Simmons is off the DL. 🙁 Christ

    I wonder if K-Rod to STL could be pulled off seems like itd be a good deal for both sides

    it wouldn’t be a 2 month stand anyways because the Braves said they only want to trade for him if he would resign a long term contract with them…

    K-Rod to StL won’t happen. They need a left in the pen to help with Browning and Scrabble, maybe they pull someone to be a 7th inning man but with the setup/closer duo of Boggs/Motte, no need for K-Rod.

    As for Greinke, I can see him going to StL for Shelby Miller and two other prospects. That would work out for the Redbirds because they can resign him in the offseason. As for the fire coming in on a Miller for Greinke trade, it would be a good deal with the Cardinals iffy history on bringing in top prospects to the Majors.
