wow, what the heck is up with that contract?! absolutely terrible for a guy who is going on the decline.

dodgers got #swindled

They didnt get swindled. There was no sales pitch they fell for. They have a lot of money to spend and thats all there is to it. Its a ridiculous contract for him, but they obviously don't care..yet.

a bad contract by yr 3.

swindled. great word. With an out clause after 3 yrs and another out clause if he gets traded, I think LA did what ever they had to do to sign him.

Who has the "out clause" after three years, him or the team ?

I got it from MLB Trade Rumors, great question

Greinke has a full player opt-out clause after the third year of the deal, a Dodgers source tells Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (via Twitter). Furthermore, if Greinke is traded during the course of the contract he can opt out at end of year.

that's a copy and paste

sort of like CC's original contract.

basically has the reigns to do whatever he wants
