You know, I used to make fun of the Yankees for trying to buy championships, but failing because they do not know when to close a check book and tell agents and their clients to take their enormous requests elsewhere.
It seems we're on that same boat now. :-\
And another item to add to the "I told you so" column. When we're trying to trade this guy in 2 years because he's gone 8 and 14, and his meds are no longer working and nobody wants him, we'll revisit this post again. (Of course, you'll have people thinking that the contract was great after 2 consecutive dominating outings in a row, put that's par for the course.)
And while the Greinke fail dust settled, we did overlook the signing of Ryu Hyun-jin to a 6 year contract. He had a dominating performance during the WBC, but we'll see how that transfers over to the Bigs. Should be a fun time at the stadium when he debuts, as the So. Korean community does well with rooting on their fellow compatriots.

But anyway, might as well sign Hamilton now for 10 years for $400,000,000. He can be Grienke's roommate. And they can sign Kobe Bryant. I mean, they have the money, right?
And I hear they're trying to clone Ted Williams by taking a sample from his frozen head. And it'll only cost them a cool billion.
