The Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday agreed to one-year contracts for the 2019 season with 20 pre-arbitration players, the team announced.
Among the players who agreed to terms include pitchers Zack Godley, Luke Weaver, Matt Koch, Yoan Lopez and Nick Green. Position players Carson Kelly, Christian Walker, Socrates Brito and Ildemaro Vargas were among the notable non-pitchers.
As a result, the D-backs have all players on the 40-man roster under contract for the 2019 season.
Arizona opened spring training play on Saturday and spring training will run until the final week of March.
