I'll let you in on a secret here having gone through the experience just last year. It really doesn't matter what they do, the Royals are going to lose this trade, just like the Jays lost the Halladay one. There is no realistic way to get fair value in a trade for a pitcher of their caliber, you just have to get the best you can and get out.

You are nuts.
1) It is not a forgone conclusion that Greinke wont re-sign. We will have traded off that opportunity, and you must pay for it.
2) Cliff Lee, $120MM. *NO* Ace free agent after 2011. The market is the market. Maybe you and Toronto dont agree with it, but ace pitchers are worth insane money.
3) If we dont trade greinke, we get 2 high draft picks anyway. If you think Drabek and Snider are worth more than Greinke, you are out of your flippin mind.
