First reported by Steve Gilbert: dbacks pitcher Mike Leake is opting out of the 2020 60-game season. First player to do so. Will be more coming but timing is tough given his selection to the 60 man roster...players like Yasmany Tomas currently left off the roster.
Madison Bumgarner's third start of the spring is over. He threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out four. He threw 73 pitches, 45 strikes. His fastball was mostly 89-90 mph.
D-backs will be having an extra game at Salt River Fields on March 23, with their top prospects against the Rockies top prospects. On our side, that includes Corbin Carroll, Kristian Robinson and Alek Thomas. $5 for lawn seats, so seems like a steal!
My dad was a pro baseball player, and today is the vote to get him into the Hall of Fame. I made this comic (years ago) to tell him how I feel about it all.
