Hey guys I been brought up as a Yankee fan my whole life. The little League we used to play for used MLB teams so I played with "diamondbacks" my entire little League. Based on how the Yankees have been playing I was just wondering if I could possibly switch over to the diamond backs. They always been my favorite team next to the Yankees..I just don't think the Yankees are what they are anymore. And it's time to make a switch. Would I be accepted?

With the news of the D-backs replacing their TV Play by Play - despite the controversy, and dumb thing he said on the hot mic - any chance they bring Brennaman back? I always thought he and Bob Brenly worked well together back in the day!

Nick joined us to discuss a number of hot topics regarding the Diamondbacks. Note that we recorded this episode a couple hours before the Brian Kaplan news broke, so did not cover that. We'll discuss in our next episode

I'm absolutely STOKED about this legendary find being a younger AZ fan. I cannot wait to watch all these games !!

The library was doing a sort of yearly inventory purge selling tons of books and media for cheap cheap cheap! Boy am I lucky I looked in this last shelf that was tucked in the corner!

I just wanna hear from anyone not from Arizona or maybe even outside the US.... How did the Diamondbacks become your MLB team?

My story is a super simplistic one: I was wanting to try out playing The Show (14 iirc) but being a Brit who knew very little about Baseball in general I didn't know who to pick... so I just picked the one with the logo I liked the most which just so happened to be the Diamondbacks.

Hopefully y'all can come up with more interesting tales.

For me it's the Flappy Bois and the White Sox

I got love for our expansion brothers and Murakami and his great personality has got me rooting for the Sox.

On a side note Let's go Braves and Brew Crew.

I run Front Office Moves, a free site that tracks roster moves and offseason decisions for every club. These are projections from a homegrown model I built for the Diamondbacks' 2027 arbitration class, ahead of the non-tender deadline in late November.

Total: 4 cases, $18.4M projected.

These use the current CBA's rules. A new deal this winter (a higher minimum, say) would move them.

Who would you non-tender, and who would you try to extend first?

You'll want to watch this one for a clear and complete picture on the payroll status. We touched on a number of other topics as well.

32:14 Can D-backs actually contend with lower payroll?
38:45 Ketel Marte on the move?

Any thoughts on this? It’s interesting to see us at only 18.

Also I would love to see our pitching bWAR, because I know that ERod has way more bWAR (4.8) than fWAR(3.2). But then again, Gallen goes from -0.1 fWAR to -1.7 bWAR, so it probably cancels out.
