Oh I don't know about that this upcoming year. We have holes at CF and closer and he rotation has question marks. With no significant offseason acquisitions this team can easily be worse than last year.
I can see a lot of one year deals for guys since the FA market is slow to heat up. Pretty soon guys are gonna be scrambling to find jobs IMO .
Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro The Diamondbacks have signed the following players to minor league contracts: C Bryan Holaday, RHP Seth Frankoff, RHP Bradley Roney, LHP Sam Moll, OF Drew Weeks, 2B Christian Lopes, C Jamie Ritchie.
Nick Piecoro @nickpiecoro Devenski underwent elbow surgery in September to have a bone spur removed. Recovery time was said to be four months at the time of the procedure. It’s been a while, but he was once a very good reliever. The Diamondbacks are hoping to land some upside here if he’s healthy.
I am guessing they finish 4th. They are down to 93 million in salary and I am sure they will shed more. They are paying 20.6 million for salaries not even on the team anymore. Escobar is a free agent next year so he is primed to be dealt mid season. Bumgarner next year will be 1/4 of the teams salary so if there is even a remote chance they can dump him I am sure that they will.
