effectively a 3/90 deal... he will opt out if he doesnt get hurt.

I thought some kid knew Samardzija's good buddy and that Cubs were signing Samardzija last week. It's not in the bag already?

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1  6m6 minutes ago
Zimmermann/Price will unleash wave of SP signs now, meaning Winter Meetings likely will be dominated by OF market Cespede/Heyward/Upton/etc

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick  8m8 minutes ago
Sources say Greinke is looking for a 5 or 6 yr deal. He wants AAV above Price. That means $31.5M or $32M a year.

I'm glad the Cubs didn't sign Price at that price (given their apparent cost constraints).

Why on earth would Price opt out of that contract? He's going to get more than $125 after the age of 33?

Perhaps because he wants to match Arrieta's new contract after 2017?

Or because even mediocre pitchers will get 30M a year 3 years from now.

Agreed, I'm glad the Cubs weren't players at that price...

But the press all said he was Maddon's buddy.  What the hell happened?

It sounds like Greinke could pick a team tonight too.  Nightengale just tweeted that Greinke wanted a decision from the Red Sox about what they'd offer by tonight, and someone on the PSD board said earlier that Rosenthal said it could happen tonight.

According to Nightengale the Red Sox where at least $30 million more than the Cardinals. One of the national reporters tweeted the Cards might move for Leake, who could be in the play for Giants if they don't get Greinke.
