I know he had an incredible year but a long-term, big-money commitment to this guy still scares me a little. Surprisingly that the DBacks paid like that for any player, let alone a pitcher.

i dont know their team that well but it seems like spreading this sort of investment over a few spots would make more sense given their performance in recent years

he wanted 6 years, they were cool at 5. he's 32 now. smart decision by the dodgers. sucks to lose him, but in the long run, too many years, too much money.
LOL Dodgers because they keep jettisoning guys that have success and bringing in guys who can't really play. They let a batting champ and a Cy Young runner up go but they have Utley, JRoll, et al. In terms of starting pitching, the 1-2 punch that scared everyone in the playoffs is back to "yeah but they only have one pitcher." This guy also signed in the division.
But it is a bad deal because Greinke is 32 years old and he has had some inconsistency in his career. The Dodgers lose big short term here but the DBacks will also live to regret the deal one day, probably about halfway through it.
