The Diamondbacks will not be headed to salary arbitration with any of their players this year. Arizona agreed to terms with all eight of their salary arbitration-eligible players prior to Thursday's deadline. Had the Diamondbacks not reached agreements with those players, the two sides would have exchanged arbitration figures and

For the first three installments of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we asked front offices around baseball to focus on players. For our fourth and final report, we asked them to turn the spotlight on each other. As we have since we started this series in 2023, we are wrapping

The beginning of Spring Training is a little more than a month away, and the Diamondbacks still have plenty of work to do on their roster before pitchers and catchers hold their first workout on Feb. 11 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz. Here's a recap of where things

If we had a dime for every time we’ve said or used the word “tools” at MLB Pipeline … we’d sure have a lot of dimes. Tools are, of course, the building blocks for prospects, and a lot of time is spent evaluating all of them to try to determine

Make sure you bookmark this page because it will be updated throughout the offseason with the latest D-backs injury news and transactions. Players on the 60-day injured list must be added back to the 40-man roster after the World Series.

In Part I of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we took a look at the industry’s picks for Rookie of the Year in each league. This next installment will dig deeper into what front offices think about top prospects. The survey, filled out by more than 40 execs across nearly

As we enter a new year and inch closer to the 2026 baseball season, there's much to be determined for many clubs as they head to Spring Training. While there has been plenty of offseason activity, many key free agents remain on the board, possible trade candidates haven't been moved

The new year is for new starts, the unknown and the to-be-determined. No one can perfectly say what will happen in this 2026 calendar year, but we can certainly take a few highly educated guesses. In the land of Minor League Baseball, there may not be a more sought-after prediction

Welcome to the fourth annual MLB Pipeline Executive Poll. Starting before the 2023 season, we surveyed front offices across baseball -- from general managers to scouting directors, farm directors, analysts and beyond -- on a number of questions regarding prospects. As has been our tradition, we’re beginning with who they

While the Diamondbacks continue to engage with teams about a trade involving All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, that could soon change one way or the other, with Arizona general manager Mike Hazen saying that he does not want the situation to continue indefinitely. “We’re very likely to put an end

Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after

The calendar has flipped over to 2026, and we already have year-end awards on our minds here at MLB Pipeline. In 2025, we picked two of the three American League Rookie of the Year finalists in the Athletics' Jacob Wilson and Roman Anthony of the Red Sox. And we singled

Over the past two springs, the Diamondbacks have locked up some young players they feel are key for their future. There was Corbin Carroll in the spring of 2024, and this past spring shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, closer Justin Martinez, and when it came to starting pitchers, they landed on Brandon

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for

For the second straight winter, Diamondbacks prospect Jordan Lawlar found himself in the Dominican Republic during the offseason. Last year it was so the former first-round pick could make up for missed at-bats due to injuries suffered during the 2024 regular season. This time around, the idea was to give

With the Minor League season in the rearview mirror and a new year on the horizon, we took a look at how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.

Another year in baseball is in the books, so let's look back at the best of the best plays from this past season. These are the annual Statcast superlatives -- the longest home run, the fastest strikeout, the speediest inside-the-park home run, the toughest catch and more. Here are 15

Happy holidays, baseball fans. As our gift to you, we're back with the tradition we are determined to make happen: our yearly list of every team's longest home run of the season just past. Admittedly, we always think these lists make for good gifts, but we have a pretty good

Right-hander Merrill Kelly and GM Mike Hazen met with the media on Friday to discuss the reunion after Kelly signed a two-year, $40 million contract to return to the D-backs. Kelly was dealt to the Rangers for pitchers Kohl Drake, Mitch Bratt and David Hagaman at the 2025 Trade Deadline.

Nick Kurtz. Drake Baldwin. Roman Anthony. Trey Yesavage. Nolan McLean. They and so many other rookies left their marks on the 2025 season. One year ago, they were mere prospects who had yet to make their MLB debuts, and another host of newcomers will inevitably be difference-makers for their clubs
