[USA Today] Diamondbacks veteran was 'blindsided' getting cut before Arizona's World Series run - [Nick Ahmed] didn't see their glorious September run where they became the last team to make the playoffs. Not during their upset wild-card, NLDS and NLCS triumphs. Or their World Series battle with the Texas Rangers. “I couldn’t watch, I just couldn’t do it. I was just trying to distance myself with it. You build a bond and a relationship with a lot of people, but there’s hard feelings obviously towards the organization how things ended. I’m happy for the players and the coaches that they could experience that, but now I’m going to be playing against them this year.
