Royals GM Says Club Attempted to Discuss Long-term Contract Extension with Greinke
Royals’ general manager Dayton Moore wanted to make it clear that the team had tried their hardest to discuss a long-term contract extension with Zach Greinke, however, it didn’t work out.
MSNBC reports that Moore explained to reporters on Sunday that a discussion about a long-term contract extension just wasn’t something Greinke was willing to do.
“We would love to be sitting here discussing a long-term contract with Zack Greinke,” Moore said.
“You want to hold on to your best players forever. That’s a formula for winning championships, as well. But there has to be a willing partner to go forward with that. We actually went down that trail and discussed that trail with Zack long-term, and it was apparent that that wasn’t something that he wanted to do.”
