Arizona Diamondbacks and Kris Benson agree to a Minor League contract
ByAccording to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed pitcher Kris Benson have agreed to a Minor League deal. He will make $650,000 if he makes the Major League team.
It was rumored that in addition to the Diamondbacks, the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been interested in Benson.
Benson, 35, has only appeared in eight Major League games since 2006 because of arm and elbow injuries. In his eight games with the Texas Rangers last season, he was 1-1 with a 8.46 ERA in 22 1/3 innings. You can see Benson’s statistics here.
