The Reds cannot compete with Total Payroll... But not competing with the Yanks and Red Sox for Trades? Hello Mr. Negative...
The Yankees farm system isnt very good, the Sox not much better, and the Rangers farm system is down to a few blus chips...
Look what Seattle got for Lee, Smoak and a couple other prospects, nothing special.
Greinke would cost the Reds Volquez and about 2-3 "prospects"
In fact, I think a package of Volquez, Heisey, a prospect, and I am serious about this next player... Gomes with his 20 Homers and 80+ RBI getting Greinke...
Greinke is exactley the type of player/pitcher this team needs... another bonafide 200+ Inning pitcher with serious talent to go with Arroyo while Wood, Leake, etc... continue to develop.
