ESPN reporting Greinke is a Diamondback

[bankybruce]

Darn, looks like he is staying out west....oh wait, heck yeah!

No numbers yet.

 

[Dback Jon]

Wow!!

 

[bankybruce]

Six year deal

 

[82CardsGrad]

Oh. My. God!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bankybruce]

Ok, a true ace without trading the farm.

 

[Dback Jon]

Everyone better be buying some new jerseys for the team

 

[devilalum]

This is unbelievable. I don't know how they're gonna pay for him but that's not my problem. They don't need to make another move and they're instant contenders.

 

[Phrazbit]

I just saw this! HOLY CRAP!!! I don't like his attitude but he is a ridiculous pitcher!

Talk about making a splash!

 

[bankybruce]

My only question, is Corbin a solid #2? Or would prefer him at 3 and aquire a #2 with 2 or 3 prospects?

 

[AZ Native]

I will if they are purple and teal.

WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!

 

[bankybruce]

This is unbelievable. I don't know how they're gonna pay for him but that's not my problem. They don't need to make another move and they're instant contenders.

They have an extra $30-$50 million to spent a year with the new TV deal and said they would spend it.

Yes. Corbin is a legit #2.

Exactly. Its not inconceivable that the Dbacks could have made the playoffs before this move.

 

[az jam]

Stunning. Terrific move for the D'Backs.

 

[Phrazbit]

I like this a helluva lot more than Cueto. STAY HEALTHY ZACH!!!

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ditto! And like you mentioned, I'm not a fan of Zack's attitude... but I'll learn to live with it!!

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

"About" $195M over 6 years per USA Today

 

[Azlen]

I still can't believe it. Wow. He must really like the new uni's.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ditto! And like you mentioned, I'm not a fan of Zack's attitude... but I'll learn to live with it!!

Like RJ's attitude?

 

[82CardsGrad]

Like RJ's attitude?

No way... Totally different. Zack had more of a gnat/instigator personality. RJ was in your face with power, determination and pure hate!

 

[82CardsGrad]

$32.5 MILLION per season!!!!!!! Can't believe they pulled this off.

 

[Azlen]

One of the best parts about this is stiffing both the Dodgers and the Giants.

 

[AZ Native]

Agreed!!

$32.5 MILLION per season!!!!!!! Can't believe they pulled this off.

Amazing!!!

I'll learn to live with it.

What. A. Day. Probably the most surprising FA signing in my AZ sports fan career. Supposedly we are still going after leake, man oh man haven't been this excited for a Dbacks season in a while.

 

[Dback Jon]

This is really turning around a bad day for me
