Washington Nationals Rumors: The old Zack Greinke chatter again; Don Mattingly?

The Washington Nationals were reportedly willing to offer Zack Greinke a 5-year/$100M-ish extension back before he was dealt to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2010. Greinke considered joining the Nats then... would he consider it again?

CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman wrote on Saturday afternoon about the December 2010 trade between Milwaukee and Kansas City that sent Zack Greinke to the Brewers along with Yuniesky Betancourt in return for Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, Jeremy Jeffress and Jake Odorizzi. Cain and Escobar are, of course, playing important roles for the Royals as they compete in the World Series this Fall, but Heyman writes about a Greinke trade that could have been as well.
