Greinke
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Diamondbacks and Zack Greinke have agreed to a six-year contract.
Still no details yet on the finances of the deal, but it's likely to be in the range of the $31 million per season that David Price received from the Red Sox. There had been rumblings that the Dodgers may be willing to go to six-years and $210 million, so it will be very interesting to see just how much the D'Backs were willing to spend. Not only do they lock up a star hurler through his age-37 season, but Greinke's bat should also play very well at the hitter-friendly confines of Chase Field.

Re: Greinke
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the agreement between Zack Greinke and the Diamondbacks is for six-years and $206 million.
That would put him at an average annual value of $34.33 million, higher than any pitcher in baseball history and far greater than the $31 million that David Price is receiving per season from the Red Sox. It is rumored that the Dodgers were willing to offer a five-year deal at around $31 million per season. Rosenthal also notes that some of that money is expected to be deferred. It was anticipated that the Diamondbacks would have to overpay to lure Greinke away from the Dodgers and Giants and it appears they were certainly willing to do so and make a statement.
