North Korean leader ‘convinced’ dialogue won’t change US hostility
Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas is in the process of agreeing to a $68.5 million, six-year contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal had not yet been completed. The person said several additional steps were necessary but the agreement was likely to be finalized in the next few days.
MLB.com reported Wednesday a deal had been agreed to.
Tomas, 24, hit .375 (6 for 16) for Cuba with two homers and five RBIs in last year’s World Baseball Classic.
He would join an outfield hampered last season by injuries to Mark Trumbo (stress fracture in left foot) and A.J. Pollock (broken right hand), who both missed about half the season. Trumbo, Ender Inciarte and Cody Ross have been Arizona’s top projected corner outfielders.
Arizona went a major league-worst 64-98 last season, fired manager Kirk Gibson and reassigned general manager Kevin Towers, who left to becomes a Cincinnati Reds’ special assistant.
Former big league pitcher Dave Stewart was hired as the Diamondbacks’ GM under Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa and Chip Hale took over as manager.
In Stewart’s first major move, Arizona acquired pitcher Jeremy Hellickson from Tampa for a pair of minor league prospects. (AP)
