That Greinke trade is no bueno.

I think the Reds landing Kemp was a huge mistake, I would have given up another top 25 prospect to avoid that contract so we could use that money elsewhere, maybe for a Keuchel or a Pollock.
That’s why we give up Kemp and 3 mid-level prospects for an underperforming, overpaid started to see if he can regain his form in a new scenery.
Throwing in Someone like TJ Friedl or Juan Graterol might make this trade more appealing, but the goal is to get better team control for a bona fide starter rather than paying 20+mil for a guy who’s heart has always been in LA.

If you think Greinke is an underperforming starter, this probably isn’t a conversation worth having.

Greinke will be a borderline All-Star for the rest of his career, not underperforming.
