Reports: D-backs reach deal with Zack Greinke

Posted

The Arizona Diamondbacks were in desperate need of starting pitching and made it clear they were out to sign an ace.

It appears the D-backs have found their man, as multiple reports say the D-backs have reached a deal with Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke, pending a physical. The deal is reportedly worth $206 million over six years -- the highest average annual value for a contract in MLB history.

The right-hander is coming off a 19-3 season in which he posted a National League best 1.66 ERA.

Greinke is a three-time All-Star and won the American League Cy Young award with the Kansas City Royals in 2009.
