It's not worth reading much into. Francoeur to Cincinnati would make some sense, though, if only because Dusty Baker doesn't want his players clogging up the bases.
Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe has heard that the Royals and Braves are in serious discussions about a trade that would swap Jeff Francoeur for Zack Greinke.
According to an NL executive, the only thing holding back the deal is the Braves' impending deal with A.J. Burnett. Royals GM Dayton Moore worked with a young Francoeur while the two were in Atlanta, but there's no way he'd give up Greinke for Francoeur in a one-for-one deal. Other parts would have to be involved. View this one as a long shot.
