Latches on with Arizona
Newman signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday that includes and invitation to spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Newman, 30, spent the 2023 campaign in Cincinnati, slashing .253/.311/.364 with three homers and eight steals in 74 contests. He'll try to win a utility role in Arizona, with most of his playing time perhaps coming versus lefties, against whom Newman posted an .813 OPS last season.

2016
Newman had relatively high expectations given his status as the 19th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft. He had a promising first full season in the big leagues in 2019, but he has since struggled to find a carrying tool. In theory, that's his ability to make consistent contact, but his career 11.7 percent strikeout rate has translated to just a .260 average. That's caused by his lack of barrels and hard contact, as he has only 20 home runs across 1,663 career plate appearances - translating to just a .096 ISO. Newman does boast some speed, but he has 14 combined stolen bases across the last three seasons and is 30-for-43 on the basepaths for his career. An offseason trade to the Reds also doesn't do him any favors, as Jonathan India and Jose Barrero are likely to start the season at Newman's natural positions of second and third base, respectively.
