That's not exactly young. And his contract aint cheap. He could decline sharply at any moment, but the way Greinke pitches, i wouldnt bet against him.
And the Braves have added nearly 20-25 mil to payroll since Opening Day, so this isnt near true. And added some money to next years payroll in Greene and Melancon.
Lastly, i said before, Braves and Astros are at different points of their windows. Astros are in the middle of their window, and Miley/Cole are FA's after the year, Brantley next year, Correa in 2 years. They gotta go for it while they got this team. Verlander is still pitching well but who knows when he'll decline. Braves arent quite at that point now.
