Former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher signs with the Arizona Diamondbacks

Former Blue Jays have been active all off-season as we have seen multiple players land new deals including even some former players that have landed new coaching deals like Daniel Vogelbach and Kevin Kiermaier.

The Diamondbacks announced yesterday that they have signed former Blue Jays pitcher Kendall Graveman to a one year deal worth $1.35 million which include an mutual option for 2026 worth $5million or a $100,000 buyout.

Graveman missed the entire 2024 season after dealing with an injury that needed surgery and took the year off to recover but when looking at his 2023 numbers, he put up a solid 3.12 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 66.1 innings pitcher.

Some Diamondbacks fans are not very happy with the move as they believe the team should have done more to improve their bullpen than adding a 35 year old pitcher.

Graveman's time in Toronto was not very long as he was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 2013 MLB draft and made his debut in 2014 finishing with a 3.86 ERA in 4.2 innings pitched before being traded to Athletics as part of the deal that brought in Josh Donaldson.
