Dodgers 'close' to deal with Zack Greinke

What a difference a few days makes. After seemingly losing ground to the Rangers in the pursuit of Zack Greinke, the top pitching prize on the free agent market, the Dodgers have reasserted themselves in the battle to add a starter.

I'll let the tweets do the talking:

The Dodgers appear to be closing in on signing Zack Greinke. Still some ground to be covered, but they're out in front.

#dodgers are definitely trying for greinke. #rangers still seem to be in mix, but #rangers people dont have great feeling now.

So, even when Dylan Hernandez cautions with this...

The deal between the #Dodgers and Greinke isn't done.

He might as well be Marge Simpson. The mob has spoken. Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

More to come.
