Diamondbacks Offered Minor League Deal To John Lackey During Offseason

Ironically, Buchholz now has the job that Lackey, his teammate for nearly five years in Boston, rejected during the winter. He was unwilling to sign a cheap, minor-league deal with Arizona, particularly with no guarantee of cracking the rotation.
