re: Official MLB Winter Meetings thread

So, looks like the Rangers are the favorites to sign Greinke:

quote:

---

The Dodgers are pessimistic about their chances of signing Greinke, Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports. GM Ned Colletti had a memorable response when asked if he was on the doorstep of signing the free agent right-hander. "We're not on the front lawn. ... We're barely out of the car at the curb. It's better than driving around the neighborhood looking for the house. We know where the house is located. We just can't seem to get out of the car."

And then there is this little nugget:

quote:

---

The Rangers would prefer to sign Greinke, trade Michael Young to Philadelphia and acquire Justin Upton, Nightengale reports.

Also, did anyone else know that Greinke's wife was a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? They think that is one reason why Texas are the favorites right now.

I'm hoping the contract isn't over $150million, otherewise Texas would have grossly overpaid for him.
