Joc Pederson Joins Arizona Diamondbacks

Two-time All-Star outfielder signs one-year contract, adding potential power to the team's lineup.

Joc Pederson, a two-time All-Star outfielder/designated hitter, has finalized a one-year contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, with a mutual option for 2025.
Pederson was drawn to the Diamondbacks due to their talented core of players and well-respected coaches, and hopes to help the team win the World Series.
Pederson's contract is reportedly worth $9.5 million, and he could add some power to the middle of the Diamondbacks' lineup if he returns to form.
Pederson has a career .237 average with a .336 on-base percentage, a .464 slugging percentage, 186 homers and 485 RBIs in 1,140 games over his 10-year career.
The Diamondbacks have been active this winter, signing left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to an $80 million, four-year deal, re-signing Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to a $42 million, three-year contract, and acquiring Eugenio Suárez in a trade with the Seattle Mariners.
