Ken Rosenthal has confirmed through a source that Zack Greinke has signed a six-year contract with the Dodgers worth $147 million. With that signing, Greinke is now the highest paid pitcher in the game, surpassing C.C. Sabathia. Also, the Dodgers have become the biggest spenders in baseball, surpassing the Yankees. It’s the first time since 1998 that the Yanks will not be the team with the highest payroll.

Dodgers Finally Sign Zack Greinke
After lots of speculation, from being the favorites to being written off, the Dodgers announced that they've agreed to terms with right-hander Zack Greinke on a record-setting deal.
Making sense of Angels' pitching deals
It's difficult to like what the Los Angeles Angels have done this offseason, particularly when they seem likely to lose free-agent right-hander Zack Greinke.
I wrote recently about the different approaches of the two L.A. teams . But the Angels' starting-pitching choices may not be as illogical as they appear.
I'm not saying I like them, mind you -- right-hander Tommy...

The Dodger are trying everything they can to make themselves competitive this year. The huge trade they pulled off last season didn’t pan out the way they thought it would, so they were going to do something in the off season to make a sudden push to the top again. As a Padres fan I am hoping they fall flat on their face. Especially after yesterday they signed Zack Greinke to a...
