We thought the Ketel Marte rumors were done and dusted, but it appears they will never say die with MLB Network’s Jim Bowden telling Foul Territory he still expects a Marte trade to get done at some point. Bowden also mentions the Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers and Phillies as potential options. Is this actual information or more reckless speculation? And at this point of the offseason, what would a Ketel Marte trade ***even*** cost? PLUS, Gabriel Moreno was shown some big time respect in MLB’s latest top 10 catcher rankings. The D-backs’ starting catcher going on four years, had his best ever impact at the plate in 2025, but missed plenty of time with various injuries. Can Moreno put together a healthy season and just how much of a floor raiser is he for this team?

The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a fairly quiet offseason in comparison to the last couple, with large investments into Corbin Burnes, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jordan Montgomery and more. With pitchers and catcher reporting around the corner, Mike Hazen's team still has quite a few holes to fill. What's the most dire of these needs? Starting pitching help? Back end bullpen arms? A first baseman not named Pavin Smith? It's almost too much to count. PLUS, the guys explore the rumors of Ty France and Carlos Santana as potential first base platoon options and if NOT trading Ketel Marte was the single best move of the offseason.

The Diamondbacks have tackled several offseason needs, but national analysts still gave the team a lukewarm grade. We break down why the lack of bullpen upgrades is the main culprit, and how Arizona could fix it by adding two key relievers. We also explore the D-backs still being in the mix for a reunion with Zac Gallen and Geraldo Perdomo’s rise as a top-10 MLB shortstop. Plus we take a look at the current state of Arizona’s farm system according to The Athletic, and discuss the Aces staying in Reno for the next 20 years. 0:00 SkeeYee & Happy Friday!  2:40 Zac Gallen's dying market  5:55 Geraldo Perdomo ranked WHAT?!?!  19:00 D-backs offseason grade  25:30 Could the bullpen channel their inner Phoenix Suns?  30:15 Trade target: Cardinals stud reliever  35:05 Free agent target: Veteran reliever  43:50 Potential trade packages  49:50 D-backs farm ranked 14th  56:00 Aces extending stay in Reno JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4 An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ Phoenix Raceway: Get your tickets now for March 5-8! https://www.phoenixraceway.com/march-cup-weekend/?CID=PIR_DI_TP_BA_PHNX26Spring_251120 ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.

Diamondbacks fans have always known how valuable Merrill Kelly is, but now the rest of MLB is catching up. After being named to MLB’s 2026 All-Underrated Team, we break down where Kelly truly stacks up among the league’s best starters and why he continues to be one of baseball’s most quietly dominant pitchers. We’re also joined by D-backs pitching prospect Kohl Drake, who opens up about his journey through the minors, his pitch mix, and what it’s really like becoming teammates with the player you were traded for just months earlier. Plus, we’ve got the latest World Baseball Classic roster updates and why Damon’s Dominican Republic squad might be the biggest threat to Team USA. 0:00 SkeeYee!!!  2:00 Top prospect Kohl Drake joins the show!  11:20 Role of analytics in modern pitching  19:30 First impression of pitching coaches  33:10 Merrill Kelly = most underrated SP  46:15 Horrible bullpen trend in Arizona  49:30 New signing: RP Derek Law  59:50 World Baseball Classic updates JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4 An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ Phoenix Raceway: Get your tickets now for March 5-8! https://www.phoenixraceway.com/march-cup-weekend/?CID=PIR_DI_TP_BA_PHNX26Spring_251120 ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.

The Diamondbacks offseason is still full of question marks. Are the Snakes done making moves, or is another blockbuster addition on the horizon? Jesse Friedman from Snakes Territory joins the show to discuss if Framber Valdez still being available means the D-backs would once again have a chance at adding one of the best available starting pitchers to their roster for the third consecutive year. As pitchers and catchers inch closer to reporting, could the D-backs pull off another surprise? We also dive into Nolan Arenado’s future at third base, despite his openness to moving to first if asked. Plus, we share more way-too-early 2026 season predictions, including who could be the first-half ace and which player might emerge as the new fan favorite.   JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube   ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports   MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker   ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix   PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/   Phoenix Raceway: Get your tickets now for March 5-8! https://www.phoenixraceway.com/march-cup-weekend/?CID=PIR_DI_TP_BA_PHNX26Spring_251120   ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.

The Diamondbacks are reportedly in the market for another first baseman…or are they? We dive into a full-blown conspiracy theory that the D-backs may have already solved their first base problem when they traded for Nolan Arenado. With videos, quotes, and a little detective work, we lay out the case for Arenado being Arizona’s surprise answer at first. We also break down Ketel Marte once again being crowned the best second baseman in all of MLB, and ask why trading him was ever a conversation to begin with.

Zac Gallen’s days in the desert might not be over just yet. According to recent reports, the Arizona Diamondbacks have emerged as the frontrunners to bring the Milkman back for the 2026 season. We break down what a reunion could look like and what it may take to get Gallen to return to the Valley. We also dive into the Snakes signing another Perdomo, Yu Darvish’s brief retirement, and Ryan Waldschmidt being Arizona’s lone representative on MLB’s Top 100 prospects list.

The Diamondbacks missed out on landing MacKenzie Gore via trade, so what does that say about where this rotation really stands? Did the Snakes do enough to seriously pursue a frontline starter? Plus, the spotlight is back on first base as we debate what the D-backs’ plan actually is at the position and whether an internal option or a late-market move for Paul Goldschmidt or Ryan Mountcastle makes the most sense. Meanwhile, Corbin Carroll continues to get his flowers after being ranked the 9th best player in baseball by MLB Network, and we take a look at what it means for the organization to have three players ranked inside the Top 25 of MLB Network’s Top 100 list. Can their stars lead them to the Postseason in 2026 as predicted by MLB.com? We also have some fun by building the best possible roster using players from the 2001 and 2023 Diamondbacks World Series teams.

The Diamondbacks addressed their rotation this offseason by reuniting with Merrill Kelly and taking a calculated gamble on Michael Soroka. But would a bold move for MacKenzie Gore completely reshape the outlook for the 2026 starting staff? Even though he was traded MOMENTS after we ended this podcast, we break down what Gore would bring as a true frontline starter and what a realistic trade package with the Nationals could look like.

We are thankful to report that Cody Bellinger is going back to the Yankees and staying out of the NL West. More importantly, are the Diamondbacks getting closer to bringing Paul Goldschmidt home as his price continues to drop on the free agent market? We have more on his market cooling and if the Nolan Arenado trade made this a more attractive destination. We also give our thoughts on Geraldo Perdomo being named a top-25 player in baseball by MLB Network. Plus, we celebrate LuJames Groover being honored as one of baseball’s top third base prospect and react to the latest Hall of Fame voting results.

We know Mike Hazen said the Diamondbacks might not add to the bullpen, but what about a move for free agent Harrison Bader? We break down whether the Gold Glove outfielder is the right fit for Arizona and what kind of impact he could have on the roster. We’ve got the latest updates on other top free agents and where they stand as the offseason continues to SLOWLY move along. We also dive into the Diamondbacks’ farm system after three of their players landed on the Top 10 second base prospects list, and why that kind of organizational depth matters more than ever. Plus, with the D-backs agreeing to terms with 18 international amateur signees, we explain why international scouting and development could be the key to the next era of success in the desert.

Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen was once again forced to shut down Ketel Marte trade rumors after they were reignited by the Red Sox acquiring Ranger Suárez. While keeping Ketel is obviously a win, it could also signal that the D-backs are finished making moves this offseason. So what does that mean for their chances in 2026 with the roster as it’s currently constructed? And what happens if nobody steps up to sign Zac Gallen, who was recently labeled the least attractive free agent on the market? We break down all of it and answer your Mailbag Monday questions on another loaded episode.

On this audio-only edition of PHNX D-backs After Dark, Derek and Damon have plenty to curse about after the Los Angeles Dodgers sign Kyle Tucker to a reported 4-year, $240 million deal. We break down why this move is infuriating for the other 29 fanbases, how it’s accelerating baseball straight toward an inevitable lockout, and unleash every analogy imaginable to explain just how broken the system feels right now. If you’re mad about the state of MLB, you’re not alone.

The Dodgers have officially broken baseball again. Los Angeles has reportedly signed Kyle Tucker to a massive 4-year, $240 million contract, and we break down how the deal is structured and why it could all but guarantee an MLB lockout at the end of the season. Meanwhile, one of the other finalists for Tucker was the New York Mets, who have reportedly landed their own free agent superstar by signing Bo Bichette. We look at what this means for the balance of power in the National League and whether the arms race has officially gone too far. Plus, we turn our attention to the Diamondbacks’ first bullpen move of the offseason, bringing back old friend Taylor Clarke, a 2015 draft pick who spent last season with the Royals. We dive into his numbers, his role in Arizona’s bullpen, and why this could be a sneaky-good under-the-radar pickup for Mike Hazen. And of course, it’s time for another round of “Are You A Baseball Savant?” JOIN THE SUPPORTERS CLUB ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yc6km2r4 An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtube ALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsports MERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-locker ALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Phoenix PHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ Phoenix Raceway: Get your tickets now for March 5-8! https://www.phoenixraceway.com/march-cup-weekend/?CID=PIR_DI_TP_BA_PHNX26Spring_251120 ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.
