6 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks signed starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training on Friday. The team also added veteran relief pitcher Mark Rzepczynski on a similar deal. Nolasco was released at the end of spring training in 2018 after a failed bid to make the roster of the Kansas City Royals. Once a decent starter who won 76 games in 195 appearances (179 starts) with the Marlins, he turned into a journeyman since 2013. He has kicked around with the Dodgers, Twins and Angels, and hasn't won double-digit games since being traded from the Marlins to the Dodgers during the '13 campaign. It will likely take an unbelievable spring for Nolasco to land a rotation job.--Daniel Dobish
