Dbacks to sign Mike Leake - per ESPN

Arizona, which last week landed Zach Greinke, is close to adding another free agent to its rotation, according to Pedro Gomez and multiple reports. Leake was 11-10 with a 3.70 ERA last season.

Not a fan of this, very mediocre and will probably be painfully expensive, but with the Miller trade I seriously doubt Leake is in the cards anymore.

Does look like he is in the picture anymore.

Sounds like the Diamondbacks will be passing on Leake, which is fine with me.

#Dbacks Dave Stewart confirms team talked to Leake's agent last night. Will keep trying.

I would love to have him here. He definitely wants to be a Dback. When he is on, he is unhittable.

At this point he'd almost be a #4, slotted behind Corbin.

Just saw an ESPN report that Leake has informed the Dbacks that he would "take less money" to play in Arizona... Interesting...

Oh, I'm not saying it's a bad thing....just hope he understands.

Predicting now that the Dbacks will find a way to sign him

That would be awesome. I'm a biased Sun Devil, but I've always liked him.

He'd probably be good for a win or two with extra inning pinch hits, too.

Ha. That is so true. He is too good as a hitter to not be on a National league team too. If they can get the $ right, can see a 3 year deal for him. Read that the Nationals are wanting him too.
