Barring injury, he will spend this year in the minors and maybe be a September call up

Both Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly swore they wouldn't take hometown discounts to return to the #Dbacks.

But both revealed today they turned down more lucrative and lengthy offers from other teams.

In their words, how free agency became more than just a business decision

Mike Hazen on not signing a high-profile reliever:

“It was something we talked about. There wasn't an unlimited supply of those guys. The trade market's pretty expensive in that area, too. I'm not shutting off that we won't go do those things at this point. It's still February."

Alek Thomas is taking reps in left field and center field. He isn't working much in right field because, he said, there's an assumption Corbin Carroll will be ready for the start of the season -- or will be back very soon after Opening Day.

Torey Lovullo on Ryan Waldschmidt (via
@Bickley_Marotta
):

"I don't want to label anybody as can't miss ... He's going to determine what the timeline is. A very talented player, controls the zone, runs the bases well, plays defense very well. He's got a lot going for him."

It's a long-term uniform number that (probably) won't stick, but new #Dbacks RHP Grant Holman will wear No. 92 for the time being

Taijuan Walker, Keynan Middleton & Drey Jameson are the only D'backs to wear a no. in the 90's for ARZ during a regular season game (all wore No. 99)

Then he better pray for some crazy injury to some contender willing to take on Erod's contract if we eat it this year AND Erod accepts.

That's the path to keeping Gallen
