Last year we took a look at both closers and relief pitchers that were available in free agency and the Diamondbacks could sign. After several years of struggling with a patch-and-glue bullpen that didn’t stick, it was time for Mike Hazen to make some serious moves and improve what had been one of the team’s weakest parts thus far.
And so he did...not.
While it was always far-fetched to expect the Diamondbacks to make a splash in the relief pitching market, not one bigger or not so little free agent relief pitcher showed up in Arizona in February.
