Zack Greinke trade watch: If not the Yankees and Rangers, then …

Pinstripes and Texas nights don’t appear to be in Zack Greinke‘s future. The New York Yankees and Texas Rangers may see the (from all indications) soon-to-be-former Royals pitcher as a consolation prize if they don’t get free agent Cliff Lee, but Kansas City may not be willing to wait for either of them to try to fill their Lee-sized hole.

ESPN reported Monday that New York and Texas rank low on KC general manager Dayton Moore‘s list of trading partners. “The reason: Neither team has enough of the commodity that Moore is seeking in trade,” ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick wrote.
