ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2016 Royals Offseason Repository ***

Yeah, although I think what was bothered some people was that the organization had invested so much in him and let him work through all his personal problems, even when he about quit baseball. Then he turned on them, and even beyond that, killed the trade with the Nationals even though everyone bent over backwards to accommodate him. Also that he admitted that he quit on the team. Today, I'm guessing he's very glad he didn't quit.

That is somewhere around $11,000 per pitch depending on what his average pitch count per game is.

Not even Walter Johnson would have been worth that kind of money.

Greinke is the highest-paid player in baseball, and its not even close

David Price is the closest.

I'm glad for Grienke though he's a good guy and I hope he brings the D Backs into the playoffs.

Good for Zack he now owns the keys to Fort Knox. I do always wonder what he thinks about abandoning the ship before it found success. I am surprised no reporter has asked his thoughts on his former team. Anyway I don't have any animosity towards him for wanting out of what he thought was a bad situation.

I'm still a fan of Greinke. He was the only bright spot on the Royals for a long time.

I'm a big fan of what he brought us when we traded his ass away.
