| Player Notes |
| December 12, 2006 Miguel Batista and the Mariners have reached an agreement on a three-year, $24 million contract, the Seattle Times reports. The deal will be finalized once Batista passes a routine physical, something that shouldn't be a problem for a player who prides himself on his physical fitness, even at age 35. |
| December 5, 2006 Foxsports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports that the Royals have offered Miguel Batista a three-year, $24 million contract. That most likely trumps a similar offer made by the Cardinals. Batista had a 3.77 ERA away from Chase Field in Arizona last season. |
| December 5, 2006 The Cardinals have made a three-year offer to Miguel Batista, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Batista held a 4.58 ERA in 34 games (33 starts) for the D'Backs last year. |
| July 29, 2006 Miguel Batista rejoined the Diamondbacks on Friday after attending the funeral of his grandmother in the Dominican Republic, according to the Arizona Republic. He threw a bullpen session Friday and is slated to start against the Astros Sunday. |
| July 28, 2006 Miguel Batista rejoined the team on Friday after attending his grandmother's funeral, according to the AP. Batista threw a bullpen session on Friday and will start Sunday. |
| July 27, 2006 Miguel Batista left the Diamondbacks to be with his family in the Dominican Republic following the death of his grandmother on Monday, according to the Arizona Republic. Batista is expected to rejoin the team in time for his next start this weekend. |
| June 29, 2006 The Diamondbacks want Miguel Batista to throw more off-speed pitches, but thus far, he's been slow to make the change, according to the Arizona Republic. "I understand the reluctance to change philosophy somewhat and potentially give up runs on his secondary stuff," pitching coach Bryan Price said. "But as a starter I think it's pretty imperative that you're able to change speeds." |
| April 24, 2006 Miguel Batista took a line drive off his right shin in the first inning of Saturday's start, according to the Arizona Republic. He stayed in the game before being pulled after five innings when his shin began to swell up. Manager Bob Melvin said he has no concerns about Batista making his next scheduled start on Friday. |
| April 6, 2006 Miguel Batista, making his first start in almost two seasons, tied his career high with 11 strikeouts in the Diamondbacks' 12-5 win over the Rockies Thursday, according to the AP. Batista allowed two runs, four hits and two walks in seven innings. |
| March 23, 2006 After throwing three innings on Wednesday, Miguel Batista was optimistic that he'd be ready for the start of the season after a couple of starts, according to the Arizona Republic. "The last time I threw three innings, I think it was, what, two and a half years ago?" said Batista, who was Toronto's closer last season but will be in Arizona's starting rotation this year. "I have two more starts and that should be good enough to get up to around 90 pitches or something like that. ... I have enough time to get ready. It doesn't take me long." |
