'I grew up here': Arizona connections have D-Backs' Deven Marrero poised for redemption

Deven Marrero isn’t from Arizona, but he’s at home in the Valley.

Acquired in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, the newest Diamondbacks infielder can’t wait to satisfy his Oregano’s pizookie fix. And he might even squeeze in a trip to In-N-Out.

Food indulgences aside, Marrero is looking forward to a lot of familiar faces and memories in Arizona.

The 27-year-old Marrero was a standout performer at Arizona State, where he made first team Pac-12 All-Conference as a sophomore and junior before being selected 24th overall by the Red Sox in the 2012 draft.
