Greinke opted out of his contract Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Greinke opted out of the remaining three years and $71 million on his contract, so it stands to reason that he will garner more than that amount on the open market. The Dodgers seem to be the early front-runners to re-acquire their ace, but it remains to be seen how much Greinke might earn with some teams reportedly scared off by his age (he turned 32 in October).
