Sources: Zack Greinke dealt to Brewers
"Former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Sunday morning.
"In the deal, the Brewers are reportedly acquiring Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain, shortstop Alcides Escobar and pitching prospects Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress for the 27-year-old Greinke, 10-14 with a 4.17 ERA in 2010 after winning the 2009 Cy Young.
"The Brewers were expected to receive another major leaguer in the deal. Jim Breem of the blog "Bernie's Crew" reported that player to be shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt."

It's a decent trade for both sides
The first rumor was a bit one sided for Milwaukee, but removing the $2 million and adding Jeffress means the Royals can point to 1 player that can help right away, and three that can help in a year or two.
The Toronto 590 rumor from yesterday now looks inSANE, btw.
Sorry Less Cowbell...
Just saw this post, if I had seen earlier I would have bumped this to the front page.
No worries!
