Trading Greinke near his peak value with 2 years remaining on his contract is exactly the correct move. Our window is 2013-2018, when Moose, Hosmer, Myers, Montgomery, Dwyer, Lamb, Colon, etc. all arrive. Adding 3-4 stud prospects to this stable to go for it all during this window is what we need to do. |
I'd rather re-sign Greinke to a long contract, but if he doesn't want to wait around for our stud prospects to finally mature (understandable), then yeah we should trade him if we can get a great haul. If no one is blowing us away with offers, try again in July and next winter.
