We have your updates from day 3 of the Arizona Diamondbacks spring camp, including comments from Mike Hazen on Madison Bumgarner staying in the starting rotation and more on Josh Rojas losing his arbitration hearing against the D-backs.
For the first time in three years, pitchers and catchers reported to spring training in mid-February and things are, dare I say, normal. The Diamondbacks are back. https://twitter.com/PHNX_Dbacks/status/1625859994758545409?s=20 No masks, no restrictions, no Zoom interviews. Just baseball, unhindered. Is this heaven? No, it’s Arizona. https://twitter.com/PHNX_Dbacks/status/1625916666394857472?s=20 https://twitter.com/PHNX_Dbacks/status/1626290968659107840?s=20 https://twitter.com/PHNX_Dbacks/status/1625918043124805632?s=20 The D-backs did not make any big splashes in free agency this offseason,…
With Evan Longoria and Zach Davies reportedly in the fold on one-year deals, the Diamondbacks’ offseason to-do list is nearing completion and the 2023 roster is taking shape. It is hard to say if any individual move to date has meaningfully moved the ball forward for 2023, but the team as a whole looks better on paper. In addition to…
For the first time since early 2020, there is a palpable buzz around the Diamondbacks. It’s not that the Diamondbacks are favored to win the NL West. Heck, the San Francisco Giants just signed Carlos Correa — the latest addition to a long list of obstacles in what is arguably baseball’s best division. It’s that there is an increasing sense…

After winning 52 games a year ago, the team forged a new identity. The Diamondbacks are young, fast, athletic and — somehow — a not-so-outrageous pick to…...
Last month, MLB insider Jon Heyman wrote that the Arizona Diamondbacks “would entertain offers” for veteran lefty Madison Bumgarner leading up to the trade deadline on Tuesday. Should the Diamondbacks make such a move, Bumgarner’s start against the Atlanta Braves on Friday could be his last in Arizona. Nonetheless, all signs point to the lefty staying put, at least for…
Following arguably the most exciting Opening Day game in franchise history, the rest of the Diamondbacks' opening series against the San Diego Padres brought back memories of 2021.
Cactus League performances are largely meaningless, but in a little more than a week, we've still learned a lot about the 2022 Arizona Diamondbacks.
Following a 52-win season, the 2021 Arizona Diamondbacks weren’t going to take home any team trophies. That doesn’t mean individual awards were off limits. Outfielder David Peralta was named a National League Gold Glove finalist in left field, joining the Cardinals’ Tyler O’Neill and former Diamondback A.J. Pollock, now with the Dodgers. Madison Bumgarner was named a Silver Slugger finalist…...
