4 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks are closing in on completing a one-year deal with free-agent reliever Tyler Clippard, reports Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Clippard is the second reliever with closing experience the Diamondbacks have signed in February after bringing in Joakim Soria earlier this month. Clippard has not been as effective on the mound in the years after he left Washington, but over the past two seasons with Cleveland and Minnesota, he has shown signs of improvement with a 2.86 ERA, 0.864 WHIP and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate. He hasn't recorded double-digit saves in a season since 2015, but Clippard will still likely find himself competing for the closer's role this spring in a three-way race with Soria and Stefan Crichton. If Clippard wins the closer role outright during spring training, then he could be worth a late-round pick in 10- or 12-team leagues. Otherwise, he should only be added in deeper leagues or leagues that count saves/holds.--Michael
