After months of conversations about a Paul Goldschmidt reunion, the Diamondbacks instead signed Carlos Santana to a one-year deal on Tuesday. What type of player was Santana in 2025, and does he have anything left in the tank as he enters his age-40 season? Would the D-backs be better off leaning on their young players?
Meanwhile, Zac Gallen spoke publicly about a possible reunion with the Diamondbacks. Could that be the team's next move? What about the bullpen?
Finally, we take a look at Fangraphs' projected standings and set the record straight about a new Ketel Marte trade rumor. Join Jesse Friedman and special guest Alex D'Agostino on Snakes Territory.
