Morning News: Greinke opts out, Candelario an All Star

I did not mention Zack Greinke in my post on Monday, but he opted out of his contract with the Dodgers earlier this week, adding him officially to the free agent pitching pool this winter. This doesn’t really come as a surprise to many, I don’t think, as it was expected that this would probably happen. Given his very successful 2015 season (19-3, 1.66 ERA, 200 Ks, NL leading 0.844 WHIP), he is likely to be asking for a deal that will be somewhere on par with what David Price will be asking.
