That is a ****ing haul. I can't imagine Greinke would fetch that much. That's more than Milwaukee gave up for Sabathia or New York for Santana.

If it's true, I would wave goodbye to Zach in a heartbeat.

Strikes me as too good to be true, though.

Schafer, Escobar and Flowers could all be nails. Escobar seems to have all-star potential and he's the key for the Royals. I don't really know about Reyes.

Dude, this deal is unimaginably good for KC.

Schaefer is the best prospect in their entire system, and Hernandez is right there with him. combine that with Yunel Escobar, and that alone is worth more than Greinke.

Jo-Jo Reyes has good stuff, and he's a lefty. He was one of the Braves best prospects as well.

I just can't imagine that this trade is for real. If so, you should bronze Moore's dick.

Morton is a AAAA guy in my opinion

Yunel, Gorkys, and an arm is a pretty good haul for Greinke.

This is from another board. It sounds like Greinke isn't crazy about signing a long-term deal in KC. The four players the Royals would get seem legit. Escobar seems to be the key to the deal. He and Reyes are said to be immediate contributors. Schafer and Flowers aren't far behind.

Royals receive

OF Jordan Schafer or Gorkys Hernandez
SS Yunel Escobar
LHP Jo Jo Reyes or RHP Charlie Morton or LHP Jeff Locke
C Tyler Flowers

Braves receive: Zack Greinke

Anybody have any thoughts/observations about the proposed players we'd be getting in return? Something beyond what Google would yield?

For this deal to be decent, either the P or the C must be nails, and this is assuming the SS is a stud. Trading a young pitcher of Greinke's skill level is *almost* unimaginable. Throw enough money at the kid, and he'll sign.

DeezNutz are tired of not seeing KC keep its best talent.
