Diamondbacks, Tyler Clippard moving towards deal

The Diamondbacks believe they are making progress with former Mets relief pitcher Tyler Clippard on a deal, according to sources cited by Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Piecoro’s sources said that the Diamondbacks were “hopeful” that a deal could get done before spring training. The sides are reportedly discussing both one-year and multi-year contract options. Clippard signed a one-year deal worth $8.3 million ahead of last season, so he could be due for a similar salary this season.

Clippard, who will turn 31 next Sunday, has an ERA of 2.68 in 481 appearances since becoming a full-time relief pitcher in 2009.
