The Milwaukee Brewers have apparently aced out the Rangers, Yankeees, Angels and others in completing a deal in to acquire former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke from the Royals.

The agent for Brewers minor league pitcher Jake Odorizzi, who is part of the Royals package in return, confirmed the deal on Sunday.

The Royals will receive Odorizzi, shortstop Alcides Escober, outfielder Lorenzo Cain and another player from the Brewers. reportedly minor league pitcher Jeremy Jeffress. A source has told ESPN.com's Keith Law, friend of Batter's Box, that Jeffress has been told he is included in the trade.

The Brewers also are expected to receive shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt from the Royals.

Sounds like a high, high price for MIL to pay for what may well be a rental, but the deal also might make the Brew Crew the NL Central favorites for 2011 ...
