Zach Grienke to the Cards for Rasmus.
Been seeing this one a lot in hot stove discussions on several message boards.
Just a dumb internet rumor, I know, but still…
If I were the Rangers, I’d build a package around Jurickson Profar (top 3 SS prospect in baseball) and add a couple major league ready pitchers like Tommy Hunter, Kasey Kiker and Danny Guitierrez.
If this trade goes down, you’ll hear the names of Derrick Holland, Martin Perez, Profar, Tanner Scheppers, and Wilmer Font and maybe even Engel Beltre being mentioned as targets.
IMO, for the Rangers to have long-term success, they can’t allow Holland, Perez, Scheppers or Beltre to leave… BUT those are the names the Royals are going to want. I just don’t think 2 years of Grienke are worth those names.
Jurrickson Profar is a top SS prospect in all of baseball. However, the Rangers have the 21yo Elvis Andrus entrenched at the SS position for the next 12 years. The only future Profar has on this Rangers team is if he switches to 2B and Kinsler goes to the OF/DH.

Meh. The Royals have dafted in the top 5 for about 900 years straight now. We have plenty of prospects of our own. Grienke is the first in awhile to get anyone’s attention. If I were the Royals, I would build this team around Grienke. Lock him up for 5-6 years. Screw everyone else, especially the Yankees because they will come sniffing around sooner or later.
BUT, it will never happen. Ownership has the money to build a team, but does not care.
So Grienke will go away. Of course he will. As long as it isn’t the @#%$^&$&(&#&($(&$(&$ Yankees.
Well, we could always build a package around major league ready players like Chris Davis, Julio Borbon/David Murphy, Michael Kirkman, Tommy Hunter, etc…
I’m from Toronto and I heard rumors yesterday that the Jays have been talking to the Royals about Greinke. We certainly have th prospects and money, but I’m not sure he would want to play here.
I wouldn’t complain if he did.:smileHe has a no-trade clause for 15 teams. Apparently the Yankees are on that list. With his history of social anxiety issues, I doubt he’d be willing to play for a big market club. He has also been pissed about the Royals not winning, and no offense, but playing in the AL East on a team not named the RedSox or Yankees isn’t exactly a long-term winning proposition.
