From all-around good guy and fellow ‘Cuse grad Jeff Passan, some interesting stuff out of the Greinke-land:
Though Kansas City starter Zack Greinke has a no-trade clause in his contract that includes the Yankees and other big-market teams, a source close to the right-hander suggested he would happily pitch anywhere that would provide a winning team.
“I wouldn’t put it past him to go to New York,” the source said. “I don’t think he’d rule out anybody. He says he likes New York. Especially because they’re winners. He wants to go to a team that wins.
“He’s got a list, but in the process, a lot of people have lists.”
It’ll be tough now that the team has effectively decided that the starting catcher’s gig will be Jesus Montero’s to lose, but if the team loses out on the Cliff Lee money dump, there’s a Plan B out there. What, you were thinking Pavano, Part Duh?
Me, I’d rather just see the Brinks truck arrive in Arkansas, dump a pile on Lee’s front lawn and say: “Does this do it for you?” and have Cashman in the passenger seat, contract in hand. Better than trading the farm. It’s just money, afterall.
