Dipoto Adds Greinke to Ace Collection UPDATED
by R.J. Anderson and Kevin Goldstein
| American League | National League |
Acquired RHP Zack Greinke from the Brewers for SS-R Jean Segura, RHP John Hellweg, and RHP Ariel Pena. [7/27]
Not 10 months have passed since Jerry Dipoto became the Angels’ general manager. In that span, Dipoto has acquired Albert Pujols, C.J. Wilson, and now Greinke; there are fantasy league general managers who have consummated fewer deals involving superstars than Dipoto has over the past calendar year.

Did the Angels give up too much to grab Greinke?
Not if they win the pennant.
I think it's an appropriate haul, all things considered. Greinke is an elite or near-elite pitcher, so you're probably not going to get him unless you include a few tasty morsels, even if he is a rental. I didn't think the Brewers would be able to get an elite, "Top 10 on KG's list" sort of prospect, so I think they probably leveraged the best they could out of the Angels for Greinke.
