Last month around this time, it was easy to dismiss the Diamondbacks. They were a couple of games over .500. They had played one of the hardest schedules in baseball, but they had scored about as many runs as they allowed. They won some close games, had some fun moments. They were a good story, not necessarily a good team.…...
According to a report from the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, the Diamondbacks are bringing back right-handed pitcher Zach Davies on a one year, $5 million deal with $3 million in incentives. Some outlets have also reported a $5.5 million mutual option for 2024. Given that Davies just had a 4.09 ERA and 98 ERA+ in his age-29 season, the…...

From standing pat to potentially dealing one of the team’s young up-and-coming outfielders, there was always a wide range of possible outcomes for the Diamondbacks at this year’s MLB trade deadline. President and CEO Derrick Hall told Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta less than a week before the deadline that any moves the team made would be aimed at improving…...
The calendar has turned to July, and the Aug. 2 MLB trade deadline (two days later than normal due to the lockout) is now less than a month away. What will the Diamondbacks do?
