The Reds have agreed to a minor league contract with outfielder Dominic Fletcher. He will report to Triple-A Louisville. The 29-year-old had elected free agency in mid-August after triggering a release clause in his minor league pact with the Pirates. The Diamondbacks drafted Fletcher 75th overall in 2019. He made his MLB debut four years […]
In what came more as confirmation than revelation, the Cubs announced Thursday that Ben Brown will not return this season.

It was September 6th, 2017. The Diamondbacks completed a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles with a 3-1 victory, Taijuan Walker getting the win and Adam Rosales hitting a go-ahead double in the seventh inning.

Introduction While I agree with the general consensus that the Diamondbacks biggest weakness is a failure to develop pitching prospects, and it’s not a strength for the organization, I find most of the criticisms of the current Arizona farm system laughable, when the vast majority of critics can’t name anyone in the farm system. That […]

It’s rare in baseball for a single player to single-handedly win a game because of the structure of the sport. There are very few things a single player can do to have that much leverage in a game and instead requires much more active participation from the rest of the team on the field or […]
The final month of the regular season is with us. Less than four weeks are left, before we’ll know whether Arizona are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2023. Or if they will be left to press their noses to the glass from the outside, like waifs and strays. At least it’s […]

The final game of a lengthy road trip is always a tricky proposition.

Here are the lineups for the series finale in Arizona. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks:
The San Diego Padres have enough talent to reach the postseason. Whether they have enough reliable starting pitching to actually get there is becoming a much bigger question.

Before the game, Marte, who speaks through an interpreter, answered questions about his apparent no-call-no-show from the Aug. 17 game against the Boston Red Sox, serving mostly to generate more questions. "It was a moment of frustration. I'm the type of person that when something is going on in my life, I d...

Arizona Diamondbacks’ postseason hopes are hanging by a thread entering September, and the culprit isn’t the offense or the rotation — it’s a bullpen that has completely unraveled at the worst possible time.
