Zack Greinke Rumors: D-Backs Willing to 'Reduce the Financial Burden' for SP

The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly prepared to "reduce the financial burden" on teams looking to trade for starting pitcher Zack Greinke.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the Diamondbacks are in a "transition" with Patrick Corbin and A.J. Pollock due for free agency. Greinke and Paul Goldschmidt are being made available in trade discussions to help expedite that process.

Greinke, 35, went 15-11 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.08 WHIP last season. He will make $34.5 million in 2019, along with $35 million salaries in 2020 and 2021. It's unclear how much of the contract the Diamondbacks would be willing to eat in trade negotiations.
