PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks have been without the services of shortstop Stephen Drew for about a month now and fill-in Willie Bloomquist has done an admirable job, but the team is still looking for another option.

PHOENIX – With Jason Marquis most likely done for the season with a fractured fibula, the Arizona Diamondbacks are once again looking for a starting pitcher to fill out the back end of their rotation. According to Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro, Arizona is looking into Houston Astros’ starter Wandy Rodriguez. Arizona does have interest […]
Cardinals fans, it may be time to get used to the idea of hearing the names Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Roberts, Early Doucet, Chansi Stuckey, Stephen Williams and DeMarco Sampson, as they are likely to be the receivers catching passes from Cardinals quarterbacks this year. While many have been hoping to see the Cardinals acquire a […]
Ray Horton is not Bill Davis, and that might be a good thing. Not to knock Davis, the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator the last two seasons, but Arizona rarely stopped anyone during his tenure. “The Arizona Cardinals, last year, we all were privy to it, we were witness of their futility,” Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley […]
PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks have purchased the contract of left-handed pitcher Wade Miley from Triple-A Reno and placed right-handed pitcher Jason Marquis on the 15-day disabled list.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 68-53 and lead the NL West by two games, yet true believers are still tough to find. That could change over the next two weeks. The D-backs start a 10-game road trip Tuesday in Philadelphia, one that will take them from the City of Brotherly Love to Atlanta, before heading up […]
When the Arizona Cardinals selected fullback Anthony Sherman in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft they got themselves a true fullback who likes to hit people. Sherman has done plenty of that in camp and, as he told Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf, he expected pretty much everything that’s been thrown at […]
GLENDALE – Prospect Connor Murphy underwent a knee scope in the Valley on Monday afternoon to repair a torn meniscus he suffered last week during the USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp In Lake Placid, N.Y.

We all knew it would come down to the wire, and come down to the wire it did. #Diamondbacks sign No. 7 pick Archie Bradley for $5 mil. Expect that it’s a two-sport spread deal, but don’t know that for sure. #mlbdraftless than a minute ago via HootSuite Favorite Retweet ReplyJim CallisjimcallisBA The Arizona Diamondbacks […]
He ended his college career here, so it’s a perfect place to start his professional career. Number one overall draft pick Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers open their season against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium on September 11. If the analysts have anything to say about it, Newton will make […]
The Justin Upton for MVP crowd is getting louder seemingly by the day. The outfielder is hitting .306 with 25 home runs and 75 RBI, leading all of baseball in extra base hits and the Diamondbacks to first place in the NL West. Certainly worthy of the award now, former D-backs manager and current MLB […]
Larry Fitzgerald has not been shy about praising the guy who will be throwing him the ball this season. Whether it’s his accuracy, leadership or the fact that he has worked hard to learn the offense in a limited amount of time, you get the sense that if Kolb tells people he puts his heart […]
The Cardinals’ running game hasn’t been anything worth writing home about since the team moved to the desert, but that could change this season. Arizona enters the season with Beanie Wells, Ryan Williams and LaRod Stephens-Howling atop the depth chart, each bringing a different skill to the table. Combined, Larry Fitzgerald thinks the group will […]
The question will linger until he either signs a contract extension or leaves the Valley, but once again Larry Fitzgerald confirmed that the Arizona Cardinals are his first choice with regards to where he will be playing football next season. “That’s been my desire from day one, the time I got a chance to meet […]
All things considered, the Arizona Cardinals are having a good training camp. Since the team’s first practice on July 30th up until now, the team has had to integrate new players, learn a new scheme on defense, all while preparing for games. Oh, and they didn’t have new acquisitions for the first few days of […]
Kevin Kolb dropped back to pass, saw the pressure and took off running. Fifteen yards later, the new Cards QB had the team’s first first down of the preseason. Kolb ran again three plays later, showing an aspect of his game many didn’t realize he had. “I ran the ball quite a bit in college,” […]
When Jason Marquis broke his leg on the mound at Chase Field Sunday so did the back end of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ rotation. While the pitcher had struggled in his first few starts since coming over from the Washington Nationals most believed he would settle down in his role as the team’s No. 4 starter […]
You’d like to think that, sooner or later, the national media will see what’s going on in the desert and take notice of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Owners of the 7th-best record in baseball (and the NL West lead, too), the D-backs are now a part of the playoff conversation, something Grantland.com took notice of in […]
In camp for a couple weeks, nary a bad word has been said about Kevin Kolb. Add in a successful preseason debut, one in which he completed 4 of 7 passes for 68 yards, the praise has continued to flow. “It’s one preseason game,” Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley said on the Doug and Wolf […]
With Jason Marquis going down with an injury the Diamondbacks suddenly find themselves needing another starting pitcher. While the Diamondbacks appear to be in no rush to get some of their better pitching prospects to the Majors, Sports 620 KTAR’s Ron Wolfley wonders, simply, why not Trevor Bauer? “Tell me you didn’t think, ‘Well, they’re […]
At the very least, Kevin Kolb looked like an NFL quarterback in the preseason opener last Thursday. Completing 4 of 7 passes for 68 yards, Kolb found Larry Fitzgerald often enough to make you think he’s getting the hang of the offense. Still, there is a lot of work ahead of the signal caller if […]
Jared Dudley does not own the Phoenix Suns, Robert Sarver does. However, the Suns’ popular player and, well, less-popular owner do have one thing in common: neither would trade Steve Nash. According to an interview on HoopsHype.com, Dudley said he would only trade Nash to a contender if the point guard asked to be moved. […]
The thoughts from the national media on Kevin Kolb have been mixed at best since the Cardinals acquired the young quarterback. One guy who has been in his corner from the beginning is ESPN NFL Insider John Clayton. After watching Arizona practice on Sunday, his opinion on Arizona’s new signal caller hasn’t changed. It’s become […]
When Jason Marquis went down with a broken fibula Sunday the Diamondbacks began the search for another starting pitcher. There are plenty of talented arms in the farm system, pitchers who are expected to have excellent careers once they become full-time Major Leaguers — as early as next season. With marquis out, first place #dbacks […]
Jerry, DiPoto, the Senior Vice President of Scouting & Player Development for the Arizona Diamondbacks could find himself with a new title at the start of the next baseball season.

They […]
Last football season was ugly and the Arizona Cardinals’ disastrous quarterback situation was to blame. There, I said it. But this year things are turning around with the acquisition of former Philadelphia Eagle Kevin Kolb and a decent backup being developed in John Skelton. Yes, the same Skelton who went 60-for-126 and just two touchdowns […]
And the hits just keep on coming. Recent Diamondbacks acquisition Jason Marquis is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a broken right fibula suffered after a third inning line drive from Angel Pagan of the New York Mets. Marquis took the line drive to the right ankle area with one out in […]
