Did Brewers Blow Hurt Trade Return By Starting Zack Greinke 3 Straight Games?

July 18, 2012
The Milwaukee Brewers started pitcher Zack Greinke in three straight games. Sure, he threw just four pitches on July 7 following a pathetic ejection by a first base umpire, and then tossed 66 pitches the following day before having the luxury of the All-Star break to rest before throwing 97 pitches on July 13. But he still technically started three consecutive games...

In recent weeks the rumors that the Pirates are engaged in trade talks for Justin Upton have been rampant. The interest has been persistent and intense, but recently it has come out that Neal Huntington is not willing to include Cole, Taillon, or Marte in a deal for Upton. Add in the fact that the Diamondbacks are looking for a 3B, SS, and a pitcher in the deal (as the Pirates...

Over the last week or so and especially this weekend, rumors regarding the Pirates and Arizona’s Justin Upton have been heating up. The Pirates reportedly had a scout in Chicago this week to watch Upton, and ESPN’s Jayson Stark called the Pirates a “serious contender” for the young outfielder. Jon Heyman of CBS, however, reported that there “is nothing serious” between...

DENVER - Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels is facing an uncertain future. His struggling team might trade him by the July 31 deadline. Or by then, they might re-sign Hamels to a lucrative contract to keep him from becoming a free agent. Then again, Hamels might leave as a free agent after the season, once he sizes up his market. With business matters swirling about him, Hamels...

The Diamondbacks have made it known that they are open to trading right-fielder Justin Upton. The two-time all-star, who finished fourth in the National League Most Valuable Player voting last season and also tied for 19th in WAR in his age-23 season, is seemingly a cornerstone player. But he has struggled this season, has been openly criticized by his team’s managing general partner...

Expect some movement before trade deadline
On baseballs midsummer marketplace, there is no Big Board to tell us the value of Cole Hamels or Matt Garza. General managers arent crammed together on a trading floor, like at the New York Stock Exchange, although that would be highly entertaining. (I want to see Jon Daniels and Jerry Dipoto, of the rival Rangers and Angels respectively, working feverishly to acquire Zack Greinke...

Pirates need to step up in NL Central
Two bombshells rattled the NL Central at the beginning of this week. For the Pittsburgh Pirates, they should sound like a call to action.
Early Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers announced ace Zack Greinke won't pitch until next week. Greinke has a 9.00 ERA during a bizarre month in which he started three straight games because of a first-inning ejection and the All-Star break. Brewers...
