Diamondbacks Sign Michael Soroka to One-Year Deal, Continue Search for Starters

GM Mike Hazen says Arizona is still active for starting pitching.

Overview

  • The club made the signing official and said Soroka is expected to be in the Opening Day rotation.
  • To open a 40-man roster spot, the Diamondbacks designated right-hander Bryce Jarvis for assignment.
  • AZ Central reports the contract at one year and $7.5 million guaranteed with up to $2 million in bonuses.
  • Hazen said the team is working in both trade and free-agent markets for another starter and could be a phone call or two from a move.
  • Soroka joins Ryne Nelson, Brandon Pfaadt and Eduardo Rodriguez while Corbin Burnes targets a midseason return and Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly are no longer in the rotation.
