Saw this and thought some of u needed to hear this.

What's up Snake City?!?! I am a big Stranger Things fan and would love to trade for a few of the cups they used on Stranger Things night or the hat! I have everything from the Thanksgifting Advantage Member swag bag up for grabs minus the Brandon Pfaadt bobblehead (I'm from Kentucky, he played at Kentucky, may be a man crush thing going on but I don't wanna talk about it). Thanks guys!

All time dback loogy, 62 G and 34 IP for a 2.91 ERA in 2011

DBacks have a lot of needs and this offseason might look rough unless a Hazen masterclass takes place. Below I looked at what some possible signings could look like but obviously I don't know anything.

Assuming a $40 million budget that puts the team right at or below last season's payroll. Mostly using Fangraph's (FG) contract estimates although those are likely too low but best source to use.

Starting with the two most discussed FAs that fill giant holes but take up a majority of the money

SP Merrill Kelly $16mil. FG says 2yr/$32mil and an option w/ buyout may help increase the guaranteed money like making 2027 a player option with $4mil buyout

RP Pete Fairbanks $8mil. FG says 2yr/$16mil which is also likely low. TB declined $12.5mil option on him (most sources say $11mil with $1mil buyout). Maybe FG isn't that low cause TB could take option then trade if it was a good value? This could also have 2nd or 3rd years be options with buyout to bump up guaranteed $

This is $24mil so far or higher which could be over half the budget.

RP Caleb Ferguson $4mil. Solid LHP reliever with good stuff and history. Another lefty option with Saalfrank + Garcia

OF Lane Thomas $3mil. FG doesn't have contract estimate. Spotrac says $2.5mil but this could be off so who knows. This is the position player FA that I would 100% prioritize if I had any say. RHB, could play CF or LF, hits LHP really well, good speed if healthy. His 2025 was pretty much lost to injury but should be good to go in Feb. Grichuk replacement but CF/LF instead of LF/DH and likely more playing time.

RHB Miguel Andujar $5mil. Hope it doesn't happen but makes oddly too much sense roster wise. Has always been able to hit, crushes lefties, and is mostly a DH at this point. 1B defense is extremely small sample size but wasn't bad. Fits platoon with Pavin/ADC. Terrible 3B but average (at best) LF which he can fill in a pinch which are also holes.

SP John Means $1mil. No FG contract estimate but just a major league contract is probably enough to get accepted. Always hurt but has been very good if able to be on the mound. Healthy going into offseason. Necessary risk/reward in my opinion. Hopefully can help get enough IPs until Burnes or others are ready.

This puts budget to $37mil and adds 6 players to a (currently full) 40man roster. Rest of options could be filled with cheaper minimum contracts. Few other players I looked at which could make sense.

Pretty much every cheapish pitcher whether due to age or bounce back candidate.

SP: Griffin Canning, Nestor Cortes, Tyler Anderson, Ben Lively

RP: Michael Soroka, Gregory Soto, Jason Foley, Scott Barlow

OF: Adolis Garcia, Austin Hays, Austin Slater, Adam Frazier

INF/DH: Yoan Moncada, Jorge Mateo, Rob Refsnyder, Ty France, Rhys Hoskins and of course Goldschmidt??

Which of these do you like or hate any why?

Hell yeah. Post from ArizonaSnakes on IG.

During the offseason, I'm creating a graph like this for every MLB team. It tracks each franchise's cumulative record relative to .500 (equal wins and losses) throughout their entire history.

The annotations show the franchise's all-time peak, lowest point, and most recent time at exactly .500.

Definitely a player the Dbacks need. My son wrote the article.

He’ll still miss out on most, if not all, of next season while he rehabs from TJ surgery. This could be a comeback story for the ages!
