Alex Pavlovic of CSNBayArea.com writes that the San Francisco Giants -- and not the Los Angeles Dodgers -- were the team Zack Greinke was apparently close to signing with before the Arizona Diamondbacks made a late move and got the 32-year-old right-hander:
When Greinke was introduced to the Phoenix media he said that he was "minutes away from going to a different team ... it was that close." It was assumed that Greinke meant the Dodgers, but industry sources have told CSN Bay Area that the Giants are believed to be the "different team," that Greinke was prepared to choose orange and black when the Diamondbacks swooped in at the last minute.
