So here’s what we know about Zack Greinke: He forced the trade, and the Royals thought he was a twerp. No longer in a position of having to pamper the delicate star, the Royals are letting it be known that life with Zack was a trial when he wasn’t on the pitching mound and focused on the task at hand.

A story in The New York Times says Greinke offended people in the organization when he refused to address the crowd after being presented with his Cy Young award and other baubles on the field of Kauffman Stadium at the beginning of the 2010 season.
