Dodgers utilityman makes pitch to Greinke: ‘PLEASEEEEE stay!'

Share

Zack Greinke opted out of his Dodgers contract and is now one of the top free agent starting pitchers on the market this offseason.

Dodgers teammate and utilityman Kike Hernandez went public this weekend with his pitch to keep Greinke in LA.

Hernandez posted to Twitter on Saturday: "Dear Zack, I have no money to offer you but this is my pitch! PLEASEEEEE stay! #21"

The Giants have made it clear that signing a frontline starter is one of their top priorities. Greinke certainly fits the bill, but there is sure to be plenty of competition for the NL Cy Young finalist.

Los Angeles reached out to Greinke during the season in an attempt to avoid his opt out, but Greinke declined to engage, making it clear he would test the market.
