It's not a popular opinion but I am thankful we didn't get Greinke. The guy is a headcase and a piece of crap. He spurned the Nats before, but now that they are making waves, oh, maybe. Whatever. Whatever is going on in that Nats locker room seems to be working and I really don't think Greinke would have contributed positively.
That's a massive oversimplification of what occurred.
Greinke simply didn't want to be traded to a team that just gutted it's roster to acquire him... going from one losing situation to another losing situation wasn't going to help him, or the Nats.
He did the team a favor.
