    Ketel Marte Staying With D-backs? Latest Trade Rumors After Rays, Red Sox Trades

    After a busy weekend for the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, is it time to put the Ketel Marte trade rumors to bed? We discuss the latest reports after the Red Sox' trade for Willson Contreras and a pair of big moves by the Rays.  In related news, is Alex Bregman still on the table for the D-backs? We discuss the latest reporting on the D-backs' interest. Plus, Jack presents a case for why the D-backs might be better off spending that money on a variety of players. Specifically, would Ryan O'Hearn provide a big boost to the offense?  We also discuss the D-backs dealing left-hander Kyle Backhus to the Phillies. What's to like about the outfield prospect they received in return? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

    Report: D-backs Showing Interest in Alex Bregman

    According to multiple reports, the Diamondbacks are a surprise entrant into the Alex Bregman sweepstakes. What kind of player is Bregman at this stage in his career, and what would he cost? Is there a way for the D-backs to acquire him without also trading Ketel Marte? We dive into all the details.  We also discuss the mutual option in Merrill Kelly's contract that was not initially reported and some interesting takeaways from Michael Soroka's introductory presser.  Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

    Report: D-backs Bring Back Merrill Kelly On Two-Year Contract

    According to multiple reports, the Diamondbacks have signed right-hander Merrill Kelly to a two-year contract, pending a physical. We discuss everything Kelly has meant to the Diamondbacks over the years and why it feels right that he is back.  We also discuss the relatively hefty price tag that it took to land him, and what this could mean for the D-backs' plans the rest of the offseason.

    Ketel Marte to Rays? What We Learned About The D-backs At The Winter Meetings

    The Winter Meetings have come and gone, and Ketel Marte is still a member of the Diamondbacks. Do we still expect that Marte will stay in Arizona, or have the odds flipped in favor of a trade?  We dive in to the latest reporting on the Marte sweepstakes, including a report that the D-backs discussed pitchers Shane Baz and Ryan Pepiot in a potential deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. Would Baz and Pepiot be enough for the D-backs' star second baseman?  Finally, we discuss the progression of the reliever market and how it might impact the D-backs. Plus, is it concerning that Michael Soroka's contract is not yet official? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

    D-backs Sign Michael Soroka, Ketel Marte Rumors Heat Up At Winter Meetings

    The Diamondbacks made their biggest move of the offseason on Monday by signing right-handed pitcher Michael Soroka to a one-year contract. What role will Soroka fill in Arizona, and why did the D-backs make the commitment? Does this mean the team is unlikely to bring Merrill Kelly back? Meanwhile, the Ketel Marte saga continues as trade talks pick up steam. We discuss general manager Mike Hazen's comments on the situation and attempt to read between the lines. Is it time to consider a Marte trade as likely? Finally, we discuss the D-backs' reported interest in reliever Pierce Johnson. Could Johnson serve as the D-backs' closer next year?

    Report: D-backs In Talks With Pete Fairbanks As Winter Meetings Approach

    With the Winter Meetings around the corner, the Diamondbacks have reportedly had discussions with free agent closer Pete Fairbanks. What would Fairbanks bring to the D-backs, and would he be worth the cost?  We also take a look at the latest Ketel Marte trade rumors, including a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan that pegged the chance of a deal at 40%. We also discuss a specific mock trade with the Boston Red Sox, a team that seems to be a particularly good trade partner.  Finally, we discuss the D-backs re-signing Tommy Henry to a minor-league deal and the Colorado Rockies hiring former D-backs general manager Josh Byrnes.

    Mailbag: Are The D-backs Priced Out Of The Reliever Market?

    With Devin Williams reportedly getting over $50 million from the New York Mets, can the D-backs still afford a bonafide closer in free agency? We discuss the Williams deal, the Dylan Cease contract with the Blue Jays, the Ryan Helsley deal with the Baltimore Orioles and the overall state of the market.  Then, in this mailbag episode, we dive in to your questions on whether the D-backs should be more aggressive about converting pitching prospects to the bullpen, whether the Pittsburgh Pirates' Mike Burrows and Atlanta Braves' Hurston Waldrep could be trade targets and more.  We also present a trade that would send Ketel Marte to the Miami Marlins in exchange for three players.

    Should The D-backs Trade for Nolan Arenado?

    A recent MLB.com story pegged the Diamondbacks as one of the most likely destinations for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado. What would it take to get Arenado, and how much does he have left in the tank?  We also discuss a new report from JP Morosi that the chances of a Ketel Marte trade are "at least 50-50." Morosi also notes that the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies are among the teams that have checked in. Could there be a potential fit with the Blue Jays or Phillies?  Finally, we discuss Taiwanese pitching prospect Jo Hsi Hsu. Could he be a budget-friendly option for the D-backs this offseason?
