"The Diamondbacks announced they've signed reliever Taylor Clarke to a one-year contract. They designated right-hander Gus Varland for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster. The club did not announce salary terms for Clarke, who is represented by the Ballengee Group. Clarke should be a familiar name to Arizona fans. The Snakes selected him out of the College of Charleston as a third-round pick in 2015. He debuted in a swing role four years later and spent parts of three seasons with the MLB club."
"Clarke moved almost permanently to the bullpen by the shortened season and has been a full-time reliever for most of the last half-decade. He got some work as a starter with Milwaukee's Triple-A team in 2024 but has worked from the bullpen as a big leaguer."
Taylor Clarke signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and right-hander Gus Varland was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot. The club did not announce Clarke's salary and listed the Ballengee Group as his representative. Clarke was a third-round pick out of the College of Charleston in 2015 and debuted in a swing role four years later, appearing in parts of three major-league seasons. He shifted primarily to bullpen work by the shortened season and has been a full-time reliever for most of the past five years, with some Triple-A starting work in 2024.
