Diamondbacks sign Dyson

[Town Drunk]

Was hoping the Giants would have snagged him for center.

Not impressed with this signing.

Dbacks act quickly, signing jarrod dyson to two-year deal. He gives them a cf next year should pollock leave.

#Dbacks not necessarily done looking for outfield help. Were going to sign Dyson regardless of what happened with J.D. Martinez.

Hit .251 with five homers and 30 RBI in 2017. Also stole 28 bases.

So to be clear... the #Dbacks were in finishing stages with Jarrod Dyson before J.D. Martinez news broke. He is not viewed as a replacement for Martinez. D-backs will continue to look at OF options.

 

[Dback Jon]

If they don't re-sign AJ, and leave CF to this bum, I won't be happy.

 

[Dback Jon]

Oh - and welcome to Arizona...lol

Could do worse than a 2-3 WAR outfielder for 4 mil.

Dbacks signed a vacuum cleaner?? Hope he can suck up balls in CF as well as the Dyson vacuum cleaners can suck up dirt!!

This signing was happening regardless of Martinez. It makes a ton of sense too as they are going to a humidor so you will need speed on the bases and will need to manufacturer more runs.

I really love it if he is a 4th outfielder / defensive replacement

Jarrod Dyson gets 2-year, $7.5 million contract from #Dbacks. He receives $3.5 million in 2018 and 2019 and $500,000 signing bonus

Yawn.

I know he is a Boras client but ARZ should go after CarGo. He could have a bounce back year playing 81 games at Chase. Melky Cabrera is out there but he won't be cheap. ARZ may have to settle for a Colby Rasmus.

5.7 war the last two years compared to JD having 6.0 and basically an entire seasons worth of at bats.

This is a great signing and DBacks fans will love watching this guy the next two years

MLB Network projects him as a starter along with Pollock and Peralta. One of the fastest players in MLB.

I was also reading he would be the 4th - upgrade from the Gregor Blanco role.

With that I am ok. Not as an AJ Pollock replacement.

I REALLY hope the Dbacks find a way to secure a bigger bat to replace JD...I have ZERO, as in NO faith in Tomas...which means Goldy is going to see crap pitches all year long...

Jarrod Dyson is uniform No. 1, evidently. Six other #Dbacks have worn that number, per @baseball_ref: Orlando Hudson, Michael Bourn, Didi Gregorious, Cody Ransom, Bobby Crosby and Andy Green.

We got rid of a Hoover and bought a Dyson

Maybe you could do an anti-curse and seek out Tomas (maybe get @Chris_Sanders to drive you to chase him down) and ask to shake his hand. Couldn't hurt.
