Greinke a goner?

08:21 AM ET 06.18 | Back in December of 2010, the Brewers pulled of a coup of a deal that landed them Zack Greinke. Considering all that the Brewers gave up for Greinke, and especially how [Jake Odorizzi] has developed and [Alcides Escobar] is still everything you knew he would be, was the trade worthwhile? Of course it was. ... But now that the bill is coming due on Greinke, the other question is whether the Brewers should trade him before he becomes a free agent at the end of the season. Even if the whole National League Central wears clown shoes and theoretically there is enough time for this Maryvale version of the Brewers to do something, it is almost impossible to envision Greinke still being here by the end of the trading deadline.

Potential trade partners that would make sense would have to be primarily mid- to small market teams that have plenty of prospects to deal, need starting pitching, and are in contention.
Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Detroit. Chicago White Sox. Cleveland. And, the LA Dodgers.

He's gone by the time late July roles by. I could see the Braves or the Giants make a run at him and both teams have the needed prospects to get the deal done. Mainly Atlants with Andrelton Simmons and Julio Teheran.

This is like telling the fans that the stadium is going to stop selling Brats. Why would you trade away your best pitcher knowing you play in the weak NL central and there is an extra wild card team this year.

Milwaukee fan here and I think the Brewers would be foolish not to trade him. His agent has recently said the two sides are worlds apart and their line-up consists of a rag tag band of crusty britches. Milwaukee can't afford to pay another mega contract because they're locked up with Braun (thankgod!). Trade him to Atlants for Julio Teheran & Adrelton Simmons....

The counterpart to this trade would not need plenty of prospects to deal, Grienke won't command that many prospects.

So that they can get something for him before he walks away and they get nothing.

I realize Dallas is considered a "small" market by some and "big" market by others, but I could see the Rangers putting Hamilton's money into another pitcher.

Pitt & Cincy are in Division - so probably not gonna happen...
Atlanta makes alot of sense, so does LA (who might not give up too much since they might throw a boat load of money at him this Winter)...
Toronto - still over .500 - and has offense - but there's the Canada factor...
Cleveland is not gonna go after him (and shouldn't).

Not a chance! I have been very impressed with the Sox this year and hope they keep it up.

Why do you think the Indians won't (and shouldn't) go after him?
Right now there starting pitching is in need of an anchor and nobody wants to step it up. They rank 27 out of 30 as a staff and are in dire need of a player who can carry the load come July, Aug and Sept.
I am not saying they are going to land him but they should at least try! Their lack of prospects would be what separates them from other teams but there are a few names that might be worthy of a trade.

Makes sense, except that Atlanta has plenty of pitching already.

You are wrong. Kenny always - always - goes for it if they have a shot.
This year, they have a shot.
