Postseason-wise, this is a meaningless game. The Yankees were eliminated from playoff contention a week ago, and the Royals, well...the less said about the AL Central the better. For me, though, this isn’t a meaningless game because one of my favorite players is likely making his final appearance in Major League Baseball.
Zack Greinke has not had the dream farewell season. 2023 has been his worst campaign since 2005, and with his contract up after today, it looks like the future Hall of Famer may hang ‘em up after this outing; he’s never been the type of player to indulge in any attention whatsoever, so a season-long farewell tour was always highly unlikely.
