[Jaypers]

Looking forward to seeing who gets him, and for whom.

I could see Atlanta making a push

My hope is that it will be Atlanta or Texas. Feels like I said that a month ago. Have we really discussed this that long?

 

[MojoDan]

Just checked, it was on the third. Was thinking it was even before that. Seems like there's been Greinke trade talk for at least a month doesn't it?

It just feels right for some reason. Im by no means a Braves fan, but I can definitely see them making a strong push after losing out on Dempster

While I would root against him going to Atlanta I can see it. I don't think he's going to do a trade and sign though unless some club absolutely wows him. He's a rental who's going to test the market. IMHO.

Ben Sheets for Greinke?

I think Texas and Atlanta would be great fits. Seems like they'd be low stress environments.

Texas or DC

 

[Jaypers]

Hypothetical - Mike Olt + Cody Buckel for him. Thoughts? Too little, too much, just right?

Just say no Wren. I want the Braves to get Jamie Shields.

Atlanta should have the dough to get him signed long term if he wants to deal. Im sure that will be part of the trade though, is whether or not he will sign an extension.

I dont see any team giving up multiple top prospects for him unless he agrees to an extension. Sure, I could see shipping Delgado or Teheran in return and taking a gamble that he does resign, otherwise, I dont see a team parting with 2-3 players unless there is some assurance.

I think Texas and Atlanta would be great fits. Seems like they'd be low stress environments.

I think Atlanta would be a good fit, as would Texas. In Texas, I think he'd be under alot less stress because he wouldnt feel the need to carry the rotation. Kinda the same way in Atlanta

 

[MojoDan]

Angels too...

If it came down to the wire with no other deals looming, yes, Milwaukee would take it.

Too much, and I don't think Texas will have to give up that much to get him.

I would be tickled pink with Olt and Buckel, I think Buckel is flying under the radar due to his USA counterparts Cole, Bauer, etc garnering all the attention.

 

[Frow]

I vote the Yankees and then he vapor locks in his second start.

 

[marterburn]

Too much, and I don't think Texas will have to give up that much to get him.

I agree.

I'd do Buckel and Odor. Fills what the Brewers need.

I agree.

Odor is too young. With how the Brewers run their minor league system he wouldn't reach the Brewers for another 5 or 6 years. I'd rather have a draft pick instead.
