Episode Notes
Opening Day is only a few days away, but the Diamondbacks still have several roster decisions to make, including three bullpen spots and a couple of bench spots. Who are the top candidates? And why did the team choose to option newly acquired right-hander Kade Strowd?
We also dive in to the Diamondbacks' freshly announced starting rotation, with Ryne Nelson set to start the second game of the year. Is Nelson poised to reach new heights in 2026? We also discuss Brandon Pfaadt's strong spring training as he looks to get his sweeper back on track.
Finally, we discuss several spring training standouts, including Alek Thomas and Jorge Barrosa. Could this be Thomas' breakout season? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
