See ya, Dodgers. Talk about a stunner. Zack Greinke to Arizona couldn’t be more shocking if the ace right-hander showed up with an actual, live Diamondback rattlesnake wrapped around his shoulders on Opening Day talking a mile a minute while sipping cactus juice.

Baseball players and owners share revenue ‘close to 50-50,’ union chief says – Los Angeles Times
