Edwin Jackson, Travis Snider Among D-Backs Cuts
5 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks have released more than 60 minor league players over the last couple of weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic, with veteran right-handed pitcher Edwin Jackson and outfielder Travis Snider among them. Some of the other names include outfielder Dalton Pompey and pitchers Aaron Blair, Mauricio Cabrera, Damien Magnifico, Michael Tonkin and David Huff. Jackson, 36, had a rough 9.58 ERA in 67 2/3 innings with the Blue Jays and Tigers in 2019. But he was a key piece of Oakland's rotation down the stretch in 2018 and has pitched for more teams than any player in MLB history with 14. Snider, 32, hasn't been in the big leagues since 2015, but the former first-round pick hit .294/.402/.497 in 93 games with Triple-A Reno last season.
