Diamondbacks News Eduardo Rodriguez Leads Venezuela over Team USAEduardo Rodriguez turned in just the sort of performance Arizona was hoping to see out of him regularly when they signed him after the 2023 season.

Before the tournament, but after the rosters were finalized, the USA was even odds to win it all while […]

As is tradition, once again we open the doors to the Snakepit Casino, in which you get to test your knowledge, skill and – let’s not kid ourselves here – blind luck against the best odds-makers in the Valley.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Monday was officially named the opening day starter for the Dodgers, with the right-hander set to take the mound on Thursday, March 26 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.

Record: 11-12-1. Change on 2025: -2. 5-inning Record: 7-15-2. It isn’t typically a good day when every pitcher bar your ninth inning guy gets tagged for one or more earned runs, but today had its positives for the D-backs. The first would be a good start from Ryne Nelson, who went four innings, and gave […]
News out of camp this morning that the Diamondbacks have signed Luis Urias. For some reason, I thought this was a pitcher they had previously signed this spring, then let go, but turns out that was… someone else [Two minutes of low-intensity Googling turned up nothing] This one is a 28-year-old infielder, who brings eight […]

San Diego was unable to record a hit against the right-hander through five innings, but in the eighth and ninth innings, facing relievers, the Padres […]
And finally, the outfield. Due to the sheer number of non-roster invitees this spring (34 all told), it has been quite the process. The first part of this series was published almost six weeks ago, back on February 2. As a result, a fair amount of water has gone under the bridge between now and […]
Record: 10-12-1. Change on 2025: -2. 5-inning Record: 6-15-2. The first tie of spring for Arizona, but this one will feel like a draw snatched from the jaws of victory.
