Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes must have gone to a lot of swap meats and garage sales as a kid, because he has employed bargain shopping strategies this baseball off-season. For a team that has to win now but is also on a budget, I don’t know if Byrnes’ off-season could have gone any better. I, like a lot of D-Backs’ fans, spent the [...]

Mets-Braves
The Arizona Diamondbacks again dipped their foot in the free agent pool on Thursday, signing first baseman Adam LaRoche to a one-year contract. First of all, this is a good signing for Josh Byrnes and the Diamondbacks. LaRoche is an every day natural first baseman (something the Diamondbacks have really lacked since the days of Mark Grace) who is a good hitter and [...]
