Also, a lot can happen between now and when Greinke is a FA. He could do awesome or he could fall apart and tear his labrum. MLB could do away with draft comp for FAs that leave.

You're also not at all considering the $27MM we will save that could be used in the draft, international market, or on FAs during our run for respectability beginning in 2012.

It sucks losing a talent like Greinke, but keeping him for $27MM to win 72 games instead of 68 games isn't worth adding 4 more top prospects that could help us actually make the playoffs in a few years.
I can understand the reason to trade Greinke. I do. I just don't like this particular return.

Any bets on the bolded? The last thing this organization needs to be worried about is saving money.
