Phillies scouting Royals Zack Greinke?

It was interesting to hear that the Phillies have been scouting Kansas City the last couple days. The Royals have reportedly let it be known that they’re willing to talk about anybody, which presumably would include defending Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke. The only problem with that picture is that the Royals surely would demand a shopping spree in the Phillies farm system in return. Not to mention that Greinke’s earned run average is 4.01 after being banged around by the Twins on Monday night. No, it’s more likely that the Phillies were looking at somebody like reliever Kyle Farnsworth. — Philadelphia Daily News
