The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed free agent reliever Kendall Graveman to a one-year deal for the 2025 season. This adds much-needed depth to their bullpen, which previously struggled with a collective 4.41 ERA last season. Graveman, a nine-year MLB veteran who has previously pitched for several teams including the Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox, brings a strong track record as a reliever with a 2.56 ERA since 2021. After missing the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury, Graveman aims to prove himself and provide meaningful innings for the Diamondbacks in a competitive NL West.
Free agent reliever Kendall Graveman is in agreement with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a 1 year deal, sources tell ESPN. Graveman is fully recovered from a shoulder injury and adds a needed piece to the Az bullpen.
While the 34-year-old was a starter early in his career, he transitioned to the bullpen in 2020 and has been a reliever ever since. In 280 career appearances, Graveman owns a 37-43 record and a 3.95 ERA.
Per Jeff Passan, Graveman has the 15th-best ERA among relievers dating back to 2021, sitting at 2.56. Arizona needs all the help they can get.
Graveman possesses an electric fastball and solid off-speed stuff. His resume as a reliever is impressive and he'll get every chance to prove himself in the desert after a full year off.
