Diamondbacks signed RHP Takashi Saito to a one-year contract.
He’s expected to get $1.75 million in a deal that was reported Monday but has now been officially announced. Saito turns 42 in February and dealt with injuries for a good chunk of the 2011 season, but it’s a small price to pay for a guy that’s posted ERAs of 2.07, 1.40, 2.49, 2.43, 2.83, and 2.02, respectively, over the past six seasons.
