I call the noise surrounding Zack Greinke possibly being traded to the Braves ?rumblings? because they?re something less than rumors. But they?re not nothing. Starting from the notion that (a) the Brewers probably want to trade Greinke; and (b) the Braves could use starting pitching, we go to:
Braves fans who follow O?Brien will recognize this as significant simply because O?Brien rarely if ever oversells the Braves? interest in anyone. To the contrary, he?s usually quick to shoot down unreasonable trade speculation among the fan base, even if the speculation is not necessarily wild. So if he?s saying the Braves are ?seriously considering? Atlanta, that?s something.
Of course the rental aspect of Greinke ? and the Braves? recent lack of willingness to spend big money on, well, anyone other than Dan Uggla ? puts some cold water on it. Sure, O?Brien says the Braves may be OK with a rental. But if there?s no long term possibility?
As we saw last time he was about to leave a team,?Zack Greinke?has some very definite ideas about where he wants to play ? and where he doesn?t want to play. And one former teammate said Greinke would like to be an Atlanta Brave, if given the chance.
According to Greinke?s friend, he very much likes Atlanta, and its proximity to his Florida home would be another plus (Greinke hails from the Orlando area).
Well, maybe Greinke would be open to a long term thing with Atlanta after all. ?Of course, the citation to a ?friend? is a Jon Heyman special, and this is a Jon Heyman report. ?Also worth noting that rare is the case that these geographic preference reports carry much weight. Remember how CC Sabathia wanted to be in California and Cliff Lee wanted to be someplace more like Arkansas than Philly? ?Yeah. Money talks.
But again, it?s not nothing. And when a team as shy to pull the trigger on anything as the late-model Braves are get mentioned as ??seriously considering? anything, you at least have to take some notice.
