In my latest at Baseball Daily Digest, I look at Zack Greinke’s contract already paying for itself, and other instances of this around the league.
The best part about Greinke’s deal, is that it’s really over and done with. According to FanGraph’s WAR data, Greinke was worth $42.4 million this year alone! That is $4 million more than the Royals will pay him for all four seasons of play. Anything Greinke gives them from here on out is just gravy, because he has already lived up to his contract.
