D-backs ink outfielder Travis Snider to minor league deal
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Triple-A affiliate Reno Aces signed 30-year-old outfielder Travis Snider to a 1-year minor league contract Wednesday. With the left and center field jobs wide open, Snider, a former first-round pick, will look to compete for a spot on the Dbacks’ 25-man roster in spring training.
Snider and Aces’ fan favorite Cody Decker played together as members of the Omaha Storm Chasers and Las Vegas 51s during the 2016-17 seasons, minor league affiliates of the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets. Snider elected for free agency in 2017 and did not play at all in 2018.
