SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Jorge De La Rosa surprised D-backs players when he strolled into the clubhouse just after 8 a.m. MST on Friday.
"Did we re-sign you?" he was asked.
The news that, yes, De La Rosa had agreed to terms on a Minor League contract to return to the D-backs brought cheers and hugs in the Arizona clubhouse as they welcomed him back.
De La Rosa, who will turn 37 just after Opening Day, was signed just after camp opened last year to a Minor League deal and wound up winning a spot on the roster.
