With all due respect you have your facts in error. The Yankees and the deal that CC eventually signed was a 7 year contract worth up to 161 million with an opt out clause after 2011 which allowed CC to sign up for even more money. (CC would eventually receive a one year extension on the deal worth an additional 25 million dollars with a 5 million dollar buyout clause for the Yankees).
The Brewers at the reportedly offered a 6 year deal worth 125 million dollars. The issue at the end of the day was tied to the “opt-out” clause and not the money.

6 years at 125 is a cool 20 million per year
8 years and 186 is 23 million a year

Looks like a couple million dollars a year difference.

$100 million is a “low-ball” offer? What world are you living in?

He better grad the Brewers by the throat if they offered him 100 mil, they must be out of their minds.

A couple of million dollar? What are you talking about? The yankee’s offer was $60M more than the brewers. It wasn’t even close.

Com’n Brewers don’t low-ball the guy again. I don’t want to see Greinke leaving the Brewers over a couple million dollars here or there like CC did a few years back

Actually earlier this year he said he would play for the Yankees. The Yankees also said that because of his issues they weren’t interested.

I don’t want him anywhere near the Yankees. He’s fragile.

@jayquinta-
They won’t be signing him. Greinke has said himself he’s not a fab of the major markets and big cities. Even when he was with KC i believe it was mentioned as part of his no trade clause. Anxiety issues I believe? Even IF the Yanks or BoSox were interested it would be a loaner for end of the season and he’d be likely to hit FA and go elsewhere.

If I were NY or Boston, I’d be very hesitant to sign this guy. He doesn’t seem like he’d be a good fit for either city.
