Would be awesome.

It would definitely be sweet to get Greinke. The only problem that I have with the article is that it makes Pastornicky sound like he's a 'legitimate SS' when he's likely more of a utility player.

Yeah, I don't think the suggested players from the Braves side would be enough to get half a year of Greinke, much less assurance of an extension.

Other post-season contenders needing a top starter include, well, just about everyone.

Is that article another Bleacher Report article? The fact that the guy mentions that Brandon Beachy is "probably" out of the question makes ME question his knowledge. How many teams would trade for a guy who is out for a year with TJ surgery even IF that particular player could be traded?

Also, I agree with the others in that we could only hope that the Brewers (or any team) views Pastornicky as a "legitimate" shortstop.

Finally, if the Braves land Greinke they can say goodbye to Teheran.

I'm OK with something like Teheran, Delgado, and Pastornicky for Greinke. Would prefer to hang onto Minor if for no other reason than the fact that he's a lefty. Yes, Teheran and Delgado would appear to be a big price to pay, but Greinke is a stud pitcher, while neither of the youngsters has proven anything............and are as likely to bust as they are to prosper. As for Pastornicky, he's destined to be a utility player, although he could be an every day 2nd baseman, I suppose. I don't see him ever being an every day SS.

I wouldn't give up Teheran and Delgado for Greinke, I would give up Teheran, Gilmartin and Pastornicky IF he does sign a contract extension.

Wren needs to make this happen with an extension. Greinke is that #1 ace the staff needs. The question, what will the Brewers want in return? They will definately be looking at pitching, and looking at current needs, they may seek 1b, SS, or 3b help as well. They have a kid at AA in Hunter Morris who is a 1b, that looks like he may get a shot as early as next year.

Braves have plenty of pitching prospects to look at as we all know. Teheran, Delgado, Minor, Spruill, Gilmartin, and a few others. As far as SS prospects, the Braves could see if the Brewers would bite on Pastornicky as a full-time SS, or could offer Nick Ahmed who has looked pretty good so far. At 3b, the Braves have Terdoslavich, Salcedo, and Kubitza to offer.

Is there anything we could actually do to make an extension a sure thing? Sign and trades happen in the NBA, but they dont in MLB to my knowledege. Outside of a gentleman's understanding, how could we even be assured of a Greinke extension?
