Going forward for the Arizona Diamondbacks, upgrading the bullpen remains the principal priority. Despite the signing for Fernando Rodney last Friday, general manager Mike Hazen expressed interest in adding a left-handed bat to balance the Diamondbacks right-handed heavy lineup.
“I think being a little more left-handed could certainly help us,” Hazen said. “Pigeonholing it into one specific focus, I think, would be too complicated to try to pull off. I think we can be opportunistic about that.”
New manager Torey Lovullo could also use more corner outfield depth. For that reason, free agent Colby Rasmus would be a nice addition.
