There were initial fears of the Royals mimicking what Toronto did by basically giving away 2 players for nothing but supposedly there is plans to ensure it won't happen.

Initial plan is to only accept teams Greinke approves to do offers and ask for players in spots the Royals need the most. At the same time, he's leaving the door open for other teams and allowing the demands to be flexible to prevent low-balling by big market teams.

Its a smart plan since Royals guaranteed either a few big names or enough middle-tier names to fill out depth and positions they wanted.
