Newman signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday that includes and invitation to spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Newman, 30, spent the 2023 campaign in Cincinnati, slashing .253/.311/.364 with three homers and eight steals in 74 contests. He'll try to win a utility role in Arizona, with most of his playing time perhaps coming versus lefties, against whom Newman posted an .813 OPS last season.
Kevin Newman Released by Reds
Newman was released by the Reds on Wednesday.
Analysis: Newman had been designated for assignment earlier this week, and he's now officially a free agent. The veteran infielder might have to settle for a minor-league contract this offseason after putting up just a .619 OPS over the last four seasons.
