The problem with Red-Red-Green is that the SPD would have half the votes in the coalition and so would insist on ruling it, thereby negating the better macroeconomics of it junior partners.

I mean, Peer Steinbrück, FFS!

If the SPD really wanted red-red-green, they could let Steinbrück cash his pension and let someone else get elected chancellor. Gabriel probably. But the party doesn't want it, it's not just Steinbrück.
