Who is in the rotation? Who will open the season in an outfield with only one healthy starter? Adrian Del Castillo\u2019s injury causes more waves.<\/p>\n
Arizona\u2019s opening day starter was never really much in doubt, so long as Kelly remains healthy.<\/p>\n
Trapped for now in the NL West, Arizona has their work cut out for them.<\/p>\n
Brandon Pfaadt is looking forward to moving on from what, for him, was a terrible 2025. Meanwhile, Arizona still needs a plan for the outfield with Lourdes Gurriel Jr and Corbin Carroll both on the IL.<\/p>\n
One way or the other, hopefully Arizona fans can stop hearing about a Ketel Marte trade that was never terribly likely to occur.<\/p>\n
With only roughly nine months before the expiration of the current CBA, the MLBPA doesn\u2019t need this sort of nonsense.<\/p>\n
Arizona\u2019s representation on the list has certainly changed some, with only Ryan Waldschmidt (35) and Tommy Troy (98) making the cut.<\/p>\n
It has certainly been a rough offseason for more teams than one, including Arizona.<\/p>\n
Michael McDermott examines one of the tools Paul Skenes uses to make him one of the most dominant pitchers in the game.<\/p>\n
