D-Backs re-sign Grichuk to 1-year, $5M deal

Outfielder Randal Grichuk is returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2026, the club announced Tuesday.

Grichuk gets $5 million of guaranteed money split between a $2-million base salary in 2025 and a $3-million buyout on the 2026 option, which itself is worth $5 million, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

The deal also contains $500K worth of incentives, Feinsand reports.

Grichuk hit .291/.348/.875 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs in 279 plate appearances for the Diamondbacks in 2024. He recorded an impressive .913 OPS against left-handed pitching.

The 33-year-old did most of his damage in September during one of the hottest stretches of his career. He hit seven home runs and five doubles in just 47 at-bats while Arizona fought for a wild-card spot.

Grichuk has also played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, Colorado Rockies, and Los Angeles Angels across 11 MLB campaigns. He holds a career .768 OPS (104 OPS+) with 203 home runs.
