The opt out is also huge leverage for Greinke if he has 3 solid years to start the deal….by then Kershaw will have been extended…and depending on what the offseason market is for pitchers that year, he...

So this deal could potentially be a 3 year/$76 million deal if he opts out after the 2015 season? OUCH. With or without the opt out, I think the Dodgers will come to regret this deal for this pitcher.

I hope he opts out. I would rather have him from 29-32 and then spend the money elsewhere after the 2015 season. To quote Kasten, pitchers break.
