Not necessarily. The Angels want to re-sign Greinke. They would have owed Santana $13 million so by letting him go they are giving themselves a much better chance to get Greinki. The likely can't have both guys (also why Haren is likely gone) so I sure they would rather gamble for Greinki than be guaranteed Santana.
