Diamondbacks Sign Seven To Minor League Deals

By TC Zencka and Connor Byrne | January 11, 2021 at 3:59pm CDT

The Diamondbacks announced the signing of seven players to minor league deals: Bryan Holaday, Seth Frankoff (previously reported), Bradley Roney, Sam Moll, Drew Weeks, Christian Lopes, and Jamie Ritchie, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (via Twitter).

Out of this group, only Holaday, Frankoff and Moll have appeared in the majors. Holaday carries the most experience, having amassed 768 plate appearances with multiple teams (including 33 with the Orioles last season). The 33-year-old owns a .238/.283/.333 line with 10 home runs in the bigs. Moll, 29, has only appeared in MLB in one season – 2017, when he totaled 6 2/3 innings as a member of the Athletics. He has pitched to a much larger sample size of 131 innings in Triple-A and logged a 4.19 ERA.

Among the players here who haven’t reached the majors, Lopes earned the highest marks as a prospect, as Baseball America ranked the former seventh-round pick 23rd in the Blue Jays’ farm system in 2013. Lopes is now 28, though, and didn’t move beyond Triple-A ball with the Jays or the Rangers. He hit .272/.364/.426 with five HRs over 228 PA with the Rangers’ Triple-A team in 2019.

    Maybe one of these guys could be Mike Yazstremski.

      From the club’s perspective, that’s always the hope… and from the player, that’s always the dream!

    It took Weeks but this has been Molled over since the Holaday with a break to take the Frankoff the grill and add some baRoney at the sLopes for a Ritchie meal in between Yastrzemski runs.

        I think I hurt myself coming up with that, it was pretty forced. Mostly I just like to type Yastrzemski.

    I’ve heard Seven is a really great ball player. A reliever that throws 98 miles per hour and has nice stats in the minors. Great pickup on a minor league deal for the Diamondbacks. I wish the Mets had picked up Seven!

    Holaday will be a good depth piece for Arizona either at the bigs or AAA.

    The D-Backs should have kept Greinke instead of signing Bumgarner.
