Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick made his annual season-ending radio appearance on Friday, and he stated clearly that the team's payroll will be lower in 2027. What actually was the Diamondbacks' payroll in 2026, and can the team actually improve with a lower figure in 2027?
We do a deep dive on every line item of the 2027 payroll. Will the Diamondbacks tender a contract to Pavin Smith? What would it look like to bring Michael Soroka back? Is trading Ketel Marte a realistic way to open up additional payroll space? What needs to happen in 2027 for the team to finally get over the hump and return to the postseason?
