Arizona Diamondbacks sign Neftali Feliz

Robert Murray of Fanrag was the first to report the news, this afternoon, with SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo subsequently following up to confirm this was a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. Feliz therefore joins a slew of experienced bullpen options who have been signed to similar contracts by the D-backs this winter. Those names include Antonio Bastardo, Kris Medlen and Fernando Salas, as GM Mike Hazen appears to be adopting a similar low-risk, high-reward approach to the one he used last winter. That was not without some success, it must be admitted, with the idea apparently being to handle reliever volatility by having lots of them.
