According to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick, the market for top free agent right-hander Zack Greinke is “quietly heating up“, with the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the charge. Both teams are looking for clarity, in Crasnick’s words, to what a deal for Greinke would look like. He’s expected to earn over $30 million annually, but the length of the contract would be a concern, as Greinke is 32 years old.
While the Giants seem to be all-in on the top right-hander on the market, they have also shown interest in the top left-hander, David Price.
