SCOTTSDALE - With pitchers and catchers already in camp, it looks like the Diamondbacks will be adding one more. Well, technically they aren't adding one, they are just keeping one that might have left. Trevor Cahill, who went through the worst year of his professional career in 2014, has agreed to a new two-year deal with the Diamondbacks. The deal has been reported at $2.6 million per year, a decent raise but still manageable for the organization.
Cahill is entering his seventh year as a major league pitcher, but he's still just 26 which seems amazing since most would think he was much older. He's entered a prime age for players, and most his age would be lucky to have one or two years of major league experience.
Arizona ownership seemed comfortable with letting him walk after the disaster of 2014, but with Corbin a bit of a question mark and his relative youth it looks like the team was willing to reinvest. If things don't work out there may be trade avenues available as a number of other teams expressed interest during the bidding process.
