Diamondback Breaking News!!

The Dbacks designated for assignment both Joe Kennedy and BK Kim and put Chad Tracy on the DL because of his ailing knee. Jeff Salazar, as the 4th outfielder, is back up along with Dustin Nippert and Jose Peguero for some needed bullpen help. The plan is to send someone down next Sunday and bring up Yusmeiro Petit for the 5th starter spot, lastly held by Kim.

Jarrod Parker, the Dbacks first round draft pick this year (#9 overall), must be signed by 9 pm tonight Arizona time or else he will attend Georgia Tech and re-enter the draft next year. Jarrod was considered the #1 high school pitching prospect in the country. The Dbacks have offered slot money at 1.89 million but Parker is holding out for 2.1 million or so. Hopefully the two sides will come together and get this contract signed and send him to single A.
