Diamondbacks sign Zach Davies to 1-year, $5 million contract

A surprise signing to be sure, Zach Davies pitched last year with the Diamondbacks and was on pace to be traded but a shoulder injury sidelined him for the entirety of July and he returned to and finished the year with the club. Overall he was - adequate. Before the injury he was a bona fide starter, with a 3.94 ERA across 15 starts. But upon his return, he still performed adequately, with a 4.31 ERA but struggled with sustaining that long into games - his longest performance post injury was 5 13 innings.

It seemed like the team would go to the stable of young right-handed pitchers in the minor leagues, and that was confirmed after Davies declined his side of a mutual option to become a free agent.
