Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick said the team is prepared to add to its payroll mid-season, but struck a cautious overall tone.
For the first time in nearly three years, Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick met with assembled media on Monday morning at Salt River Fields, during the team’s first day of full-squad workouts.
That is mostly due to their off-season moves. The Diamondbacks signed Andrew Chafin, Zach Davies, Evan Longoria, Miguel Castro and Scott McGough to contracts totaling nearly $22 million, while only shedding $8 million worth of expiring contracts. The rest of the difference, though, was not the Diamondbacks’ doing. Six players saw raises in arbitration, while Ketel Marte and Nick Ahmed’s contracts are structured such that their salaries were always set to increase this season.
Only once in club history have the Diamondbacks signed a player to a contract worth more than $100 million — a six-year, $206.5 million deal inked by Zack Grienke ahead of the 2016 season. Their largest contract currently on payroll is Madison Bumgarner’s five-year, $85 million deal.
