Report: D-Backs continue to go all-in, sign Tyler Clippard (Big League Stew)

The Arizona Diamondbacks are really trying to make the National League West the most intriguing division this season. The club continued its offseason makeover Monday, signing reliever Tyler Clippard to a two-year, $12.25 million deal, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.

The 30-year-old Clippard is coming off a season in which he posted a 2.92 ERA over 71 innings with the Oakland Athletics and the New York Mets. While Clippard wasn't considered an elite option when he hit the market (he ranked seventh among relievers on Jeff Passan's free-agent tracker), he was the best option available right now.
