After Phil Gosselin delivered a walk-off single for an Arizona Diamondbacks victory on the final day of last season, reliever Daniel Hudson picked up the victory.
Afterward, Hudson was emotional in speaking with reporters. Because he was not sure if he had pitched in his final game wearing Sedona Red, Hudson said how much he enjoyed the experience and waxed rewarding for the time spent. After a few hugs and a few more handshakes, Hudson disappeared into the shower for the last time in the home Chase Field clubhouse.
On Friday, Hudson received official confirmation from the organization that the right-hander, who came back from two Tommy John surgeries, did not fit into their 2017 plans.
