Today is kind of a big news day for the DBacks. An interleague series against the hot offense of the White Sox coming to the 2nd friendliest hitters park in the league. Also, there was that whole drone thing yesterday which has prompted a response by MLB. Now there are trade rumors for AJ and Corbin, all while Goldie looks to perhaps make history. Also, there’s a ridiculously good deal they’re offering for June and July games. If you feel like watching some games these next couple months how does $2 per game sound?
