Arizona Diamondbacks sign former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher following win at Rogers Centre

He has been assigned to Triple-A Reno alongside another former Blue Jay Anthony Gose, per the southpaw's tracker.

It was reported earlier this week that the Snakes would be signing Gose but it wasn't clear if it was a major or minor league deal.

Richards, 32, has had some major league success but has been in poor form for about a year now.

The Blue Jays dealt him to the Twins at last year's deadline but Richards lasted only 13 innings with Minnesota before being outrighted off the roster.

In that time, he walked 11 opponents, a rate of 18.6% of batters faced. He also hit two other batters and issued seven wild pitches.

Here in 2025, he has signed minor league deals with the Cubs and Royals, getting a brief look in the majors with the latter club. He has thrown 19 1/3 minor league innings this year with a 4.19 earned run average, 25.6% strikeout rate and 13.6% walk rate.

In his quick major league stint with Kansas City, he allowed four earned runs in three innings.

Prior to those struggles, he had a good run in the big leagues.

He tossed 201 innings over the 2021-23 seasons with a 4.61 ERA, 31.3% strikeout rate and 10.9% walk rate. He earned one save and 25 holds in that time.

Do you think Trevor Richards will make it back to the big leagues with the Diamondbacks or will he be stuck in Triple-A purgatory?
