Randal Grichuk recently underwent a surgical procedure to remove bone spurs from his ankle. This means that he may not be ready to make his debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks at the beginning of the season. However, Grichuk remains optimistic and believes he will either be ready for Opening Day or within a week after. He reassures everyone that this is not a major concern in the bigger picture. The Diamondbacks have shown their confidence in Grichuk by signing him to a $2MM deal, and they may consider using him as a designated hitter until he is fully prepared for outfield duties.
Looking ahead, the Diamondbacks’ general manager, Mike Hazen, has discussed their plans for the rest of the offseason. He mentioned that they are likely focused on bolstering their relief pitching depth and improving their overall pitching staff. In terms of position players, Hazen believes there may be limited opportunities for new additions, but there are still competitions for backup roles. The team will continue to evaluate and make decisions based on these competitions.
