Joc Pederson Signs 1-Year Deal with Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent Joc Pederson, with a mutual option for 2025, as part of their efforts to bolster their lineup. Pederson, known for his powerful left-handed bat, is expected to primarily serve as a designated hitter against right-handed pitching. Despite a somewhat underwhelming 2023 season, Pederson's strong performance in 2022 and statistical indicators suggest he can still be a valuable contributor at the plate.
