If Greinke wanted to stay here that bad, he would have signed on the line which is dotted (to quote one of my favorite cinematic scenes of all time). Hey, I'd love to be wrong, but haven't we seen this before, along with all the right quotes from the right people? I was blindly optimistic that the Crew may have been able to retain C.C. or Prince, but no more. In my view, this is even a bigger longshot than those two were, because Greinke isn't even with the team anymore. Both C.C. and Prince 'loved it' here as well by all accounts, but they loved the extra 8-9 figures in their bank accounts even more. Maybe Greinke, the scout in him, told him the best route is to be traded and pitch 2 months for the Angels while getting a stud SS and some pitchers that could help him when he comes back to Milwaukee. Who knows? Who really knows...?
