Good. Hopefully they have taken on enough payroll to not consider a crazy 8 year deal for Cano next offseason.

Greinke is a good pickup. He's a good pitcher and will be a fixture for them in the years to come.

Also means Texas likely keeps Hamilton.

Maybe Hal gives in and signs Josh and gives Cano an extension....

[DerekJeterDan]

Yup. Greinke to LAD

6 years 145 Mil

Other pieces will soon start to fall.

I'm going to laugh when the Dodgers go bankrupt. Whats their payroll for 2013?

As of now, $234 Mil. Rumor has it they want Anibal Sanchez too. It should be above $250 Mil by Opening Day.

Didn't the team take a loan too?



They will soon learn that buying doesn't always win you championships

See: Yankees. 2009. That's it.

Good luck dodgers.

NL West is a monster: Giants won the WS, again; the Dodgers have doubled their payroll in a year; Arizona and San Diego improving.

-Buster Olney

@RC- whatever loan they took they probably paid back. They have absolutely zero financial issues right now. Hey got a billion dollar tv deal. They're going to generate a lot of revenue too. They have nothing to worry about but aging player making $20+ mil a season. That's going to suck.

[TrueYankee]

Zach Greinke: $24.5 million
Adrian Gonzalez: $21 million
Carl Crawford: $21 million
Matt Kemp: $20 million
Josh Beckett: $17 million
Hanley Ramirez: $15.5 million

Oh and now the dodgers have done something that even the yankees have never done.

With Greinke/A-gon/Crawford/Kemp the dodgers have 4 players with an AAV of 20 million or more.

Also every one of there starting pitchers are making 5 million or more per year. All 6 of them.

Beckett/Kershaw/Billingsley/Lilly/Capuano/Harang

And they still want Anibal, who's looking for 5 year/90 Mil dollar deal.

So now that would be 7 starters. All making a boat load of money.

[RCSownsU]

Oh and Greinke has a higher AAV then CC Sabathia.

24.5 too CC 24.4

CC deal is bigger, as longer..but Greinke is making more per year.

He is the highest paid RHP, Ever.

[DerekJeterDan]

Reynolds > Youk.

Reynolds strikes out way too much.

[The Jokemaker]

Aren't the Dodgers still trying to get that asian pitcher? They're going to be loaded and ready to go. Considering LA is a bandwagon town it is smart to build up that star power to guarantee seats and have success.

[TrueYankee]

Greinke got a $12M signing bonus. Meaning, they just gave him a $12M check just to sign the contract they offered him.

Cool.
