Yesterday Zack Greinke agreed to a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. With his departure the Dodgers now how to find a way to fill his absence.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that the Dodgers were the frontrunners to land Cueto’s services.
It sure seems as if it’s lining up for Johnny Cueto going to #Dodgers and Mike Leake to #Stlcards. We will see.

Cueto had spent eight years with the Cincinnati Reds before being traded to the Kansas City Royals. He won the World Series with the club.
Cueto posted a 11-13 record with a 3.44 ERA. If the Dodgers are able to land the right hander it would be a nice rebound after losing Greinke.
