Derek Law Signs Contract

Derek Law, a relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, signed a minor league contract worth $1.5 million, with incentives potentially raising the total to $2 million.
Law missed the entire 2025 season due to elbow surgery.
He posted a 2.60 ERA in 2024 with the Washington Nationals.
The Diamondbacks aim to bolster their bullpen this offseason, as high-profile additions have been scarce and key pitchers remain sidelined by injuries.
