Unknøwn 13,504 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 It is worth noting that according to the reports from last winter the Braves are not on his no trade list. He couldn't block a deal to Atlanta which does give the Braves more bargaining power if Arizona is really motivated. Greinke reportedly wants to stay in Arizona so he wouldnt be motivated to waive his no trade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus they will want a top pitching prospect.....they need pitching bad. I'd give them Wilson and take in that much. I think he'd help us tremendously. It's AZ though so they are probably expecting much more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree Greinke would be great, tons of playoff experience. Pair him with Keuchel and you got 2 veteran arms that have been through the playoff wars.

falconsd56 26,494 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Grenkie, Keuchel,Soroka, and some combo of Fried /Julio/Gausman could be nice LouDog, Malachore and Drew4719 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Gosh, during the offseason I was against adding Zack Greinke just because of his contract but given his performance this year!! Having him as a true #1 going into the playoffs with Keuchel and Soroka following!! Holy crap would that give the Braves more than a fighter's chance at making a deep run come October. sdogg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tl;dr 9,748 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Greinke would be awesome. His contract looks a lot better now that he only has 2 years left after this. I hope we can find a way to get him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just more sentimental. Make one last run with Bochy and Bumgarner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he can learn to pinpoint his breaking stuff....he is going to be a really really good pitcher. But it does bring up the fact that there is sooooo much young arm talent in the system now....there is no room for all of them.

I actually believe the opposite is true!! I think it helps the mid market teams because teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers can't load up on August waiver claim players like in years past because they have the money to do that. Teams like the Braves can't risk putting in a waiver claim in August on a player that might be making too much money but that wouldn't be an issue for the big money teams. I think that levels the playing field somewhat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're just in a weird year where more teams are in it this late than normal. There's really only 2 elite teams in the NL, Dodgers and Braves, and then the rest are somewhere in the middle and then the Marlins at the bottom. Picture is much more clear in the AL and therefore more teams in the AL willing to sell. Malachore 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
