The Arizona Diamondbacks wasted no time getting to work at the open of MLB’s Winter Meetings. On Monday, the Diamondbacks made a move to shore up their pitching staff.
Arizona has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with right-hander Michael Soroka. And after spending the 2025 season with both the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs, Soroka, 28, will now look to help the Diamondbacks get back the playoffs in 2026.
