**Disclaimer: This is a rumor that has not yet been confirmed from within
the organization, but I feel comfortable enough with the information and the
source to publish this rumor. Please just keep in mind that this is only a
rumor and should be treated as such until further notice.**
A source informed me earlier today that the Milwaukee Brewers have come to a
preliminary agreement with the Kansas City Royals for a deal that would send
pitcher Zack Greinke to Milwaukee.
The rumored agreement would send shortstop Alcides Escobar, center fielder
Lorenzo Cain, and right-hander Jeremy Jeffress to Kansas City in return for
Greinke, shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and approximately $2M.
The extra $2M is to offset a portion of the $31M that would come to Milwaukee
in the trade. Coincidentally, Betancourt's buyout for the 2012 season is $2M
