Description

With this tumultuous 2025 season winding down, Arizona Diamondbacks President & CEO Derrick Hall told the Arizona Republic that the team will likely cut payroll heading into 2026. Will the front office still have sufficient resources to make offseason additions? We do a deep dive on the club's payroll situation, including a look at guaranteed 2026 contracts and non-tender candidates. 

We also discuss Blaze Alexander's recent offensive surge and the role could play next season. Plus, we explain why a Zac Gallen turnaround in the second half could have meaningful implications for the club this winter. 

Finally, we give injury updates on Jordan Lawlar, Gabriel Moreno and Kevin Ginkel. Will Lawlar be promoted to the majors as soon as he is healthy? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!
