Zack Greinke is one of 131 players who are free agents today.
Craig Brown looks at Greinke’s free agency.
Greinke, who signed a one-year, $13 million deal last March turned out to be a proper investment for the club, finishing with a 1.9 fWAR, the second-best mark among Kansas City pitchers. In fact, he and Brady Singer were the only pitchers who finished with an fWAR greater than 1.0. About that new pitching coach…
It goes without saying that Greinke will not get a qualifying offer from the Royals, but it does sound like he’s open to a return. Rogers reports the Royals are interested. Jon Heyman from the New York Post writes that Greinke expects to pitch in 2023. I got the sense that Greinke truly enjoyed his encore with the Royals, serving as the senior member of the youth-laden pitching staff. If both parties are interested, there’s no reason Greinke can’t be back.
Royals prospects fared well in the Arizona Fall Star Game.

Entering in the third, southpaw Christian Chamberlain whiffed three Top 100 Prospects — the Rockies’ Zac Veen, the Padres’ Jackson Merrill and the Dodgers’ Andy Pages — in succession, requiring a mere 12 pitches to get through the perfect frame. Outfielder John Rave entered the game as a defensive replacement in center in the sixth and struck out in his lone plate appearance in the eighth.
