"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke said he signed with the team because of money. (Christian Petersen/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke wasn't shy when he was asked why he signed a six-year,\u00A0$147 million deal with the team this offseason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deal is the second-most lucrative for a pitcher in baseball history, trailing only the $161 million\u00A0CC Sabathia got when he signed with the\u00A0New York Yankees\u00A0in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I could play for the worst team if they paid the most,\" Greinke said in an interview with CBSSports.com, via ESPN.com. \"If the last-place team offers $200 million and the first-place team offers $10, I'm going to go for the $200 million no matter what team it was.\u00A0It\u2019s obviously the No. 1 thing. I could play for the worst team if they paid the most. . . . If the last-place team offers $200 million and the first-place team offers $10, I\u2019m going to go for the $200 million no matter what team it was.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greinke, who went 15-5 with a 3.48 ERA last season with the Los Angeles Angels, admits that he doesn't need that much money but isn't going to say no to a team offering it to him.\u201CThe worst comment in the world has got to be when a guy who\u2019s getting $100 million says he wants to \u2018take care of my family,\u2019\u201D Greinke said. \u201COf course, nobody needs $100 million \u2014 or even half that \u2014 to keep their family going.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
