It's funny how things change. Just a few days ago, we were "Kenta Maeda or bust!". Now... Apparently not so much.
With Greinke in place, #Dbacks out on Maeda, source said. Many scouts/officials see him as fourth/fifth starter. Said to be seeking $60M.

I'm just glad I didn't get round to writing up anything much on Maeda, as it looks like that would have been a waste of time. Procrastination for the win! The news doesn't come as much surprise. Maeda probably would have been an improvement on the back end of the rotation as we ended 2015, but with Grienke added and the team still apparently looking for another pitcher, his status as an upgrade become a good deal murkier.
