The Los Angeles Dodgers were closing in Saturday on signing the top free-agent pitcher on the market, Zack Greinke, a source told ESPN.
No further details about the deal were known. But Greinke has been looking for a contract of at least six years, in the range of $24-million plus per year.
Greinke
The Dodgers had been widely viewed as the favorite to sign the 29-year-old, one-time Cy Young Award winner until recent days, when the Texas Rangers emerged as an equally strong suitor.
In fact, as recently as Thursday, on the final day of the winter meetings, Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti appeared greatly discouraged by the course his team's negotiations with Greinke and agent Casey Close had taken.

The deal will cover the next six years and carry a total value of $145 million if it indeed goes through.

@jaysonst: Greinke's deal would pay him slightly more than the $144M Cole Hamels got from the Phillies, making him highest-paid RHP ever.
