Bickley: Diamondbacks making a strong push for relevance

Diamondbacks insider Nick Piecoro talks about Zack Greinke's stunning deal with the Diamondbacks.

Generally, the Hot Stove League doesn’t play in the desert. It’s hard enough getting people interested in baseball during baseball season.

The Diamondbacks changed all of that. With one stunning luxury purchase, they’ve become a contender, a December conversation piece, more relevant than they’ve been in years.

Their signing of ace pitcher Zack Greinke even makes the new uniforms look better.

“We’ve got the best all-around player in the game (Paul Goldschmidt),” Diamondbacks hitting coach Mark Grace said.
