PHNX Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

As we count the days until Mike Hazen shuts down trade calls on Ketel Marte, Bob Nightengale reports that the Diamondbacks will not be able to add Alex Bregman without first moving their All-Star second baseman. We break down the financial reality behind the report, why it actually makes sense, and why we’re perfectly happy moving forward with Marte still in a D-backs uniform. We also dive into The Athletic’s report on the growing uncertainty surrounding local TV rights for nine MLB teams in 2026, ESPN delaying carrying local broadcasts until 2027, and how these television deals could dramatically impa...

A seemingly harmless Instagram post from Zac Gallen showing off a new golf glove sent us spiraling into reckless speculation about a potential reunion between the Milk Man and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Is the idea completely ridiculous, or does it actually make sense for both sides? We also dive into the growing impact the conflict in Venezuela is having on baseball, and why several MLB teams are understandably trying to get their players back to the United States as quickly as possible. Plus, Jesse Friedman of Snakes Territory joins the show to break down whether the D-backs’ starting rotation is...

The Arizona Diamondbacks are once again lINEXPLICABLY inked to high-dollar free agent rumors. This time, the D-backs are one of the teams in on All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker according to a report from Marc Feinsand. We break down why this move makes very little sense, whether Tucker is worth a massive contract, and what $400 million could buy if not spent on a single player. Plus, we dive into how trade offers for Ketel Marte have shaped Arizona’s offseason plans and whether the D-backs may have already missed out on better options while “waiting to pick a lane.” Finally, we att...

The Diamondbacks have yet to make a move in 2026, and with pitchers and catchers just around the corner, the clock is ticking on which direction this team will take. We have the latest Arizona’s continued pursuit of All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman, despite the enormous contract he’s expected to command, and explore rumors connecting the Snakes to former Braves DH Marcell Ozuna after a tough 2025 season in Atlanta. Plus, Derek laments over the Astros signing Tatsuya Imai and tries his best to answer your Mailbag Monday questions

According to a report from MLB.com, Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen indicated that the team expects to put an end to the Ketel Marte trade rumors SHORTLY. But even if Arizona officially shuts the door on a deal, has the relationship between the All-Star second baseman and the organization already been strained? We explore the human side of the baseball business and what weeks of trade speculation can mean for a player and a clubhouse. We also break down the remaining bullpen options available to the Diamondbacks this offseason and evaluate whether Arizona’s current relief group is strong en...

The Arizona Diamondbacks were reportedly linked to a meeting with Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto, who has until the end of this week to sign with an MLB team. However, D-backs insider John Gambadoro quickly shut down the rumors, casting doubt on Arizona’s level of interest. We break down why we think the Snakes may be better off targeting Tatsuya Imai instead and what that pursuit could look like. We also discuss Alex Bregman’s growing connection to the Valley and why a move to the Diamondbacks is starting to feel inevitable. Plus, we dive into Gabriel Moreno being name...

Alex Bregman continues to be linked to the Arizona Diamondbacks, but conflicting reports from the same local outlet have many questioning how real this interest actually is.  We discuss Bregman opting out of his deal with the Red Sox, the massive financial commitment required to add an elite third baseman, and why Ketel Marte remains central to any scenario in which Arizona lands Bregman. Is there a realistic path for the Diamondbacks to make this move without reshaping the roster? Plus, we dive into MLB’s decision to centralize minor league player data next season, a move that may ben...

There was no Pete Fairbanks under the Christmas tree for the Diamondbacks and their fans on Wednesday. Instead, Fairbanks has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $13 million deal with the Miami Marlins. With the last top closer off the market, where do the D-backs turn for bullpen help? We discuss how it is possible that they missed out on Fairbanks to the Marlins and if Seranthony Dominguez would fit in as a high leverage relief arm for Arizona. Plus, we give our takes on the offseason moves around MLB that we would happily return for store credit and why a...

It seems like every time a team in MLB makes a move, a new Ketel Marte trade rumor sprouts.

Or should the D-backs look to international sensation Kazuma Okamoto for their answer at either first or third? Jesse Friedman from Snakes Territory joins the show to talk all things...

It would appear there is one less team in the mix for a Ketel Marte trade after news broke that the Boston Red Sox have instead sent a package of prospects to the Cardinals in exchange for Willson Contreras.

No matter how much we try, we cannot escape the Ketel Marte rumors. The Tampa Bay Rays have reportedly been making a significant push for a trade with the Diamondbacks for their All-Star second baseman, but we can’t really figure out why.

We also discuss Sean Newcomb possibly being a bullpen arm the D-backs could pursue if another team scoops up Pete Fairbanks.

The Diamondbacks remain in the mix for All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman, but is there a scenario where Arizona can land Bregman without trading Ketel Marte? We break down the possibilities. Meanwhile, the relief pitching market just got tighter with Luke Weaver heading to the Mets and Brad Keller signing with the Phillies. Can the Snakes lock up Pete Fairbanks as the last top closer available? Plus, Tarik Skubal joins Team USA’s star-studded roster, and we’re gearing up for an exciting World Baseball Classic.
