Well, that was quite a week, wasn't it? Where are the Diamondbacks now? Let's update what has happened over the past month, since we reviewed the state of the team
Salary
It took a while, but we finally have information on the financials surrounding the Zack Greinke deal. The base salary is $31 million for 2016-2018, with an extra half million in 2019, and then $32 million in 2020 and 2021. But it's both more and less than that. Firstly, there's an $18 million bonus, payable in $3 million chunks each year. Quite why they didn't just include that in the overall salary, I'm unsure - it's not as if we are likely to be bumping up against luxury tax considerations any time soon.
