Zack Greinke unsure if he'll opt out of contract after 2015

This could be Zack Greinke's final year in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.

The right-hander said he was unsure if he'd opt out of his current contract following the 2015 season Saturday at FanFest.

He also didn't seem as optimistic as he did last year about the team's chances of winning the World Series.

The 31-year-old would forfeit three years and $77 million should he choose to hit the free-agent market, something he said last year depended on how Jon Lester and Max Scherzer cashed in this offseason. Lester, of course, inked a six-year, $155-million deal with the Chicago Cubs, while Scherzer signed a seven-year pact for a whopping $210 million with the Washington Nationals.

The two massive contracts will surely tempt Greinke to test the open market, but If he elects to remain with the Dodgers, he won't be a free agent until reaching the age of 35. Greinke will, however, make $26 million in 2016, $25 million in 2017 and $26 million in 2018.
