Latest news and updates about the Diamondbacks
Inspiration. Last Season, Eugenio Suarez hit 49 homers, divided between two teams. This season, he will not be a Diamondback. How are the Diamondbacks going to compensate for the loss? Let’s assume that Suarez will regress to only 10% more than his 2024 total of 30 homers (2026 projected 33 homers). Currently, Blaze Alexander is […]
Diamondbacks News How Devin Williams’ Huge Mets Deal Hurts D-backs’ Closer Pursuit by Alex D’Agostino [SI] Arizona’s hopes to land a down-season discount for any of the top-tier arms available is all but gone, and the continuously-inflating free agent market may force Arizona to turn to bargain signings or the trade market in order to […]
The Thanksgiving turkey is gone, and apparently, so are the bargain deals in free agency. As we look ahead to the Winter Meetings, the market has officially been set, and it’s one the Diamondbacks may not be able to stomach. In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, we broke down the massive signings of Dylan […]
October results Well, all streaks must come to an end – even Cal Ripken’s iron man run of consecutive appearances. And the same goes for me remembering to post the confidence poll. I forgot to do so at the start of November, probably being disenchanted with baseball due to the whole “Dodgers winning the World […]
When Jordan Lawlar was called up the first time in September of 2023, I think most D’Backs fans and most prospect evaluators expected the young shortstop to be up in the Major Leagues and well on his way to being an established fixture in the Diamondbacks lineup going into the 2026 . I’d also think […]
Overview Introduction Almost 12 years. That was the amount of time that José Herrera, born in Venezuela, had spent with the Diamondbacks when the 2025 season started, him being an international amateur who signed with the team on July 8th, 2013, when Kevin Towers was still the general manager. Herrera got a big signing bonus, […]

Overview Voting overview 2025 review Another 1AZfan1 player review, another player who last played in the Major Leagues in 2023 before joining the Diamondbacks this year. In Anthony DeSclafani’s case, 2024 was missed due to injury, specifically, elbow surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his throwing arm. DeSclafani had spent the prior 3 seasons […]
Diamondbacks News Phillies, Blue Jays Reportedly Show Interest in Ketel MarteI expect there to be a whole host of these sorts of articles until such time as Mike Hazen starts making moves that will erode any traction these sorts of articles have since the “other pieces” or “team needs” will have dramatically shifted. What the […]
It’s rumor season and that means people are starting to move. We’ll start hearing about players that are on the trade block for a variety of reasons, but this one is interesting. Marte, as you know, has been a force lately while playing second base for the Diamondbacks. 2024 saw him land a top three […]
Christian Montes De Oca signed with the Diamondbacks out of the Dominican Republic in December of 2021 as a 22 year old, which is particularly old for an international signing coming out of the Dominican Republic, especially with the average signings generally being 16-18 year olds. (Editor’s note: I have tried to find out why […]
Diamondbacks News 3 Closers Diamondbacks Could Target by Alex D’Agostino [SI] Kenley Jansen is one of the riskier options available, but it’s hard to argue with results. The 38-year-old veteran pitched to a 2.59 ERA over 59 innings in 2025 and converted 29 of his 30 save opportunities. He’s been very durable and effective in his […]
We’re nearly at Thanksgiving, traditionally a quiet week around MLB. That said, even if most teams stay still during this week, that doesn’t preclude something significant from happening. Some major Thanksgiving week moves from recent history include, say, Eugenio Suárez going from the Mariners to the Diamondbacks two years ago, or our friend Trent Grisham heading […]
Zac Gallen Rejects the Qualifying Offer The news anticipated for weeks officially happened on Tuesday at the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline: Zac Gallen turned down the Diamondbacks’ one-year, $22 million qualifying offer. While a return to Arizona hasn’t been officially ruled out, the consensus is that the right-hander will likely sign with another club. While […]
Team news [Arizona Sports] Corbin Carroll says World Baseball Classic was among his biggest goals – He could not say yes to the opportunity quickly enough. “It was honestly one of my biggest goals going into last year, to play well enough to be considered for the team,” Carroll told Arizona Sports’ Ain’t No Fang […]
To be clear, this is something of a devil’s advocate piece. I think it’s quite likely the team will bring Merrill Kelly back, and it’s not a scenario to which I would completely, or even particularly, be opposed. The team desperately needs starting pitchers. Right now, the rotation has one man with an ERA+ over […]
Overview 2024 Stats: 2025 Stats Does he control the strike zone? Is his control getting better? In 2024, in the minors and in the Majors, he showed a much improved walks per batter faced. In 2025, his control had a setback. My view is that it is fixable. Data from Baseball Reference. Part of the […]

Overview Voting Overview 2025 Review Philip Abner rose quickly through the system as he made the jump from high A Hillsboro all the way up to even appearing down the stretch for a completely depleted Dbacks bullpen and made his major league debut September 19. The lefty appeared in 53 minor league games in 2025 […]
Overview Voting Overview 2025 Review: There’s really not much to say about Tristin English’s 2025 season, especially when it was only seven games and 24 plate appearances. Even though his stats aren’t good at all, I wouldn’t even call his season a failure. After six long years grinding in the minors, including a 2024 season […]

Overview 2025 Review It’s a given in the modern baseball game that every team will have its pitching depth tested over the course of the season. It is not a given that the depth will be tested to the extent that the D-Backs were this season. That kind of apocalyptic nightmare could even prompt a […]
To no great surprise, Shohei Ohtani repeated as National League MVP, unanimously chosen. However, there was a fair amount of down-ballot love for Arizona players, with Geraldo Perdomo (4th), Corbin Carroll (7th) and Ketel Marte (22nd) all receiving mention, backing up the trio being honored with Silver Sluggers at their positions, earlier in the week.
