Trades involving superstars don't always pay dividends. But with Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar emerging, the Royals have no reason to regret the Zack Greinke deal.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If there were any doubts that Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke views the world from a different perspective, he allayed them this week with an update on his dream commuting scenario. In a perfect world, Greinke would live o...

With baseball's hot stove season in its early stages, executives give their thoughts on notable questions that will play out in the weeks ahead.

Brewers ace Zack Greinke silenced concerns over his readiness to contribute to a contender by shutting down the Phillies over seven innings.

Zack Greinke is set to be a free agent at the end of the 2012 season, and he's planning to represent himself in contract negotiations.

The Brewers bolstered their pitching staff this offseason to make a run at the postseason, but those arms in the rotation are also ready to do some damage with their bats.

This offseason in the AL East the Red Sox went big, the Blue Jays got rid of a huge contract, the Rays watched a cornerstone leave, the Orioles stuck with their plan and the Yankees -- well, it's not yet clear what they accomplished.

A tribute to players who are almost single-handedly propping up a specific aspect of their team's game.

Zack Greinke, who struggled with his emotions and nearly quit the game, is at ease with himself and finding comfort in making hitters uneasy at the plate.

The Royals were a first-place team in early May, but since then their season has gone horribly wrong.
