The Diamondbacks and Chris Bassett reached an accord earlier today which brings the reliever to town for 5 years.
Bassett will pocket $55,000,000 total and is widely expected to contribute significantly to the club’s playoff drive.
On his career ledger Bassett has a 32-41 record with a 3.26 ERA. In 407 games he has recorded 132 saves and the 30-year-old has 612 strikeouts in 533 innings of work.
