Diamondbacks' Andrew Chafin: Inks one-year deal with D-backs

Chafin signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract Saturday with the Diamondbacks, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The deal carries another $1 million in performance-based bonuses, per Rosenthal. Jon Heyman of the New York Post adds that there is also a club option for 2024, which comes in at $7.25 million with a $750,000 buyout. Chafin turned down a $6.5 million player option with the Tigers back in November after posting an impressive 2.83 ERA and 67:19 K:BB over 57.1 innings in 2022. The 32-year-old lefty already looks like one of the best high-leverage options in Arizona's patchwork bullpen and he could very well contend for save chances as the 2023 campaign plays out.
