The former Cougars' third baseman was the 828th overall pick in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft after playing for four years at Washington State. In his last and finest season with WSU, Argyropoulos batted .283 in 49 games while hitting five home runs and driving in 28.

The addition of Argyropoulos to the Dust Devils' roster is accompanied by a couple subtractions, with the promotion of infielder Jeff Squier to the Rockies' double-A affiliate Tulsa Drillers as well as the release of first baseman Jordan Ballard.
