Scouts will be watching Brewers ace Zack Greinke very closely tonight as he makes his first start since July 13. The right-hander was given 10 days' rest in an effort to see him "recharge his batteries," as Milwaukee GM Doug Melvin phrased it. We'll keep tabs on Greinke rumors in this post, with the latest going up top.
- The Brewers' ideal scenario is to trade third baseman Aramis Ramirez to the Dodgers in exchange for pitching prospect Zach Lee and then deal Greinke to the Rangers for third base prospect Mike Olt, reports Jim Bowden of SiriusXM ESPN radio (via Twitter). Bowden adds that such a sequence of moves is unlikely, however.
- The teams that are known to have interest in Greinke, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, are: the Rangers, Orioles, Braves, Angels, White Sox, Blue Jays, and Dodgers.
Bowden isn’t credible
Whoa! Lee for Aramis? No thanks. Dodgers shouldn’t make any trades. We’re getting low balled by everyone.
Whoa Lee for Aramis? Yes please.
Lol z lee for ramirez, keep dreaming.
I’m not a big follower of reporters but is bowden one of the worst? his sources and ideas seem to be completely off.
His articles make it very clear on why he failed as a GM
I would love, love, love this scenario. Never going to happen though.
yeah I would like a date with Angelina Jolie tonight and then trade her so I can have a date with Kate Upton tomorrow
Maybe if Ramirez was 3 years younger
I said this exact same scenario about a week ago (A-ram to the dodgers. Olt for Grienke)…People thought I was an idiot
I said Aramis to the Dodgers for a SP, OF or 1B and Grienke for Olt about a week ago. People thought i was crazy…..
Greinke to Marlins in exchange for……Hanley, straight up.
greike to braves
Greinke trade… Please include every member of the Milwaukee bullpen with him. Man, oh man – Pathetic! I can’t even watch this garbage anymore.
His batteries must be recharged because he really put some juice into that ball he drove into seats! AND threw a 3 hitter through 7 innings.
