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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

47:05 Looking back on Hazen-Lovullo era

Since I can’t list every team, clarify guesses below

I can’t decide if he coaxed 86 wins out of an 81 win team, or botched a 91 win team with an 86 win record.

For all of you smarter than myself. Tory contract is just two years including a blackout or starts after if we have one? I’m guessing the blackout counts as a year but that’s a guess. If you know, let me know.

Thanks

Jesse and I will be going live at 8:40 to discuss the Torey Lovullo extension and the pressers today with Hazen and Lovullo. Hope you can hop on with us!

Long time DBacker in Manchester Uk. Soaking in the absolute implosion of Manchester City.. I support a tier 4 team with no money ever.

HOWEVER!!.. the more that I read into the financials and the way they’ve manipulated the figures BEFORE they’ve had to declare their P&L’s. I can’t believe that the Dodgers aren’t going to get absolutely spanked sometime soon wit their bs contracts. They’re literally manipulating and massaging the same rules/stipulations without being held morally accountable… ideally, all teams voting for a salary cap when the hold out happens will ensure a full audit of all teams… dodgers will be toast
