Interesting trade. I'm thinking a number of other teams could have put together as good a package, though.

I was hoping the Jays would step up the plate & do something for Greinke. But as I thought, they are just sitting on their hands and keep looking to the future.

Stayed away from the Yankees, so it's all good!

He had a no-trade clause that included 15 teams, and one of them were the Yankees. There's been some speculation that was just a ploy to force more money to come to NY. Then again, some people just have no interest in playing/living in a large-market city. I think Grienke is one of them.
