Zack Greinke Last contract: $14,000,000 (2013) First Contract Offer: 5 years @ $12,000,000 (2014NTC) (2018) Greinke is coming off of a 14M @ 4 year deal that was identical to the 14M deal given to Justin Verlander $14,000,000 (2016). However, Greinke's numbers over the last 4 years fall quite a bit short of what Verlander has done. His numbers better compare to those of David Price and Matt Cain. The numbers for that period are: Greinke (14M) | Verlander (14M) | Cain (10.25M)
| Price (12.5M)
| 56 wins | 72 wins | 49 wins
| 61 wins
| 3.56 era
| 3.05 era
| 3.13 era
| 3.02 era
| 730 k's
| 925 k's
| 707 k's
| 762 k's
| 781.2 innings
| 932 innings
| 848.2 innings
| 830.2 innings
|
Also during the 4 year period from 2010-2013, Verlander has a 1st, 2nd and an 11th place finish in the Cy Young voting. Price has a 1st and a 2nd. Cain has a 12th, 8th and 6th. Greinke only managed an 8th place finish last year. No other Cy Young votes during that time.

I think this is a little low but nothing crazy so I'll approve as well.
