Zack Greinke officially opted out of his Los Angeles Dodgers contract Wednesday, which isn't even close to a surprise considering the land of riches and options that await him in free agency. Greinke, who is one of the top candidates for the NL Cy Young award in two weeks, now hits the open market coming off one of the best years of his career.
In 2015, he went 19-3 with a 1.66 ERA, exactly 200 strikeouts and a wow-ing 0.84 WHIP. If not for his 2009 Cy Young season, it would have been far and away the best campaign of Greinke's 12 years in MLB.
