Sborz, 32, excelled for the Rangers during the World Series run in 2023, but he’s largely been a non-factor since because of shoulder problems. He spent all of last season on the major league IL and was shut down in September after a 5.25 ERA in 12 minor league rehab appearances. He was non-tendered in November, but now he’ll have a chance to compete for a bullpen spot if healthy.

Grosz heads to Arizona just a few months after arriving in Colorado from the Yankees as part of the Ryan McMahon deal at the trade deadline. The 23-year-old righty was an 11th-round pick back in 2023 and spent all of last season at the High-A level where he fanned 135 batters over 125 1/3 innings of work. He’s an interesting pitching prospect for the Diamondbacks’ front office to sink their teeth into considering McCarthy was out of options and likely to be on the move at the end of spring training.

Sborz underwent right shoulder debridement surgery in the off-season and didn’t appear in a minor league game until mid-July. Ultimately, he made 12 appearances between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock, compiling a 5.25 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 12/8 K/BB ratio over 12 innings. Bochy noted to reporters that Sborz has still had trouble regaining his velocity and with time running out in the season it was an easy decision to shut him down. While the Rangers are hopeful that he’ll be recovered and ready to go for spring training, that’s no certainty given the disappointing end to his season.

McMahon was a near lock to be flipped before the trade deadline so the Rockies found a deal that was to their liking, adding a pair of starting pitching prospects in return. Grosz, 22, was an 11th-round selection from the 2023 draft class. He has spent the entire season thus far at High-A Hudson Valley where he registered a 4.14 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 94/35 K/BB ratio across 87 frames in his 16 appearances (15 starts).
