Kansas City Royals future Hall of Famer Zack Greinke could probably help a contending team this year, but the Royals have decided not to deal him. The rebuilding Royals will keep the 38-year-old veteran around to close out the 2022 season. In 17 starts (87 2/3 innings), Greinke has gone 3-6 with a 4.41 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 50 strikeouts and 18 walks. He still has pinpoint control with his pitches, but a career-low 13.4 percent strikeout rate has made Greinke pretty much useless in fantasy towards ...

When asked about the prospects of Greinke being traded, he said, "He chose Kansas City for a reason. When a player has that many years in the league, we're respectful ...

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke (forearm) had a nearly flawless outing in his first rehab start at Triple-A Omaha on Sunday. He pitched five scoreless innings and allowed one hit and no walks while striking out four. The 38-year-old veteran has been on the shelf since late May due to a forearm strain.
