D-backs avoid salary arbitration with Weaver, Kelly

The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to one-year contracts with right-hander Luke Weaver, catcher Carson Kelly and left-hander Caleb Smith that avoided salary arbitration

JANUARY 16, 2021 • Associated Press

Reaches deal with Arizona Weaver signed a one-year, $1.95 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday to avoid arbitration, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 27-year-old had a 6.58 ERA and 1-9 record to lead MLB in losses last season, but he's now officially under contract for 2021. Weaver should have a tentative spot in the rotation to start spring training, but Arizona hope he can return to the form that delivered a 2.94 ERA in 2019.

Loss leader in MLB Weaver (1-9) allowed five runs (four earned) over five innings and took the loss against Colorado on Saturday. He gave up seven runs and struck out six.

Impact Weaver picked up an MLB-high ninth loss in a forgettable season for the right-hander. There were some good starts among Weaver's 12 outings, and he didn't miss a start after the arm troubles that dogged him in 2019. However, there was a lot of "frustration," he told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. The two pitches that made Weaver so effective before his season was shut down last season -- the cutter and the curveball -- were nearly absent Saturday as they were most of the season. "Bluntly, those pitches have to be thrown," Weaver said. "It's an advantage to me, just like any other pitcher who can land three to four pitches through the course of a game." That will be a focus for the 27-year-old during the offseason.

Takes eighth loss Weaver (1-8) allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Astros.

Impact Weaver pitched well through five innings, allowing only one run on one hit and a walk. However, he was battered around when he took the mound in the sixth inning, allowing hits to four of the five batters he faced. Weaver now owns a 6.51 ERA and 49:18 K:BB across 47 frames this season. He's in line to take his final turn through the rotation next Saturday against Colorado.

Loses fourth straight decision Weaver (1-7) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Impact After allowing single runs in the first and second, Weaver settled in to finish his outing with three scoreless frames. Unfortunately for the right-hander, the Arizona offense struggled to give him much run support as he took his seventh loss. Weaver has dropped each of his last four decisions and now has a 6.70 ERA on the season. He will look to pick up his first win since Aug. 18 when he takes the hill Friday in Houston.

Fans five in loss Weaver (1-6) was charged with the loss at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

Impact The Dodgers' lineup got to Weaver early, jumping out to a 2-0 first-inning lead thanks to a trio of singles. Those would be the last runs of the night charged to Weaver, though unfortunately, he was strapped with his sixth loss of the season after Arizona failed to provide enough run support. The 27-year-old now holds a disappointing 7.44 ERA and 1.59 WHIP on the season and is slated for a Tuesday rematch against the Dodgers in Arizona.
