Added revenue made Greinke deal doable
D-backs senior VP and general manager Dave Stewart discusses how "Christmas came early" with the Zack Greinke dealThe team began selling Greinke's No. 21 jersey in the Chase Field Team Shop as soon as the news became official.
FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reported that at least $60 million of the $206.5 million owed to Greinke will be deferred. Giving out deferred contracts is not something the club has done under the stewardship of managing general partner Ken Kendrick.
