The Diamondbacks and veteran right-hander Kevin Jepsen are in agreement on a minor league contract, reports MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert (via Twitter). Arizona also reportedly agreed to a minors deal with Brian Matusz this morning as well, giving them a pair of experienced arms to add to their Spring Training mix. Jepsen is represented by the Beverly Hills Sports Council.
Now 32 years of age, Jepsen enjoyed a career year in 2015 with the Rays and Twins, but he split the 2016 season between the same two clubs and struggled through the worst full season of his career.
