Prospect-Laden Royals Will Be Long-Term Winners in Zack Greinke Trade

As they say, the rich just get richer. In this case, the talent-rich Kansas City Royals once again added premium talent to their already world-class farm system. They did surrender their staff ace Zack Greinke, but in return the Brewers sent them Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, Jeremy Jeffress, and Jake Odorizzi.

Just to be clear, the Brewers didn't get fleeced, but if you're a Royals fan this deal can be seen as nothing other than a positive. Each youngster coming their way has the upside of at least a quality big league player and there's not much more you can ask for than that.
