With Alex Bregman inking a reported five-year contract with the Cubs, we revisit whether Bregman to the D-backs ever made sense. Could the Diamondbacks have matched the offer?
Meanwhile, the D-backs made their first notable trade of the offseason, sending Jake McCarthy to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for a pitching prospect. We reflect on McCarthy's tenure in Arizona and explain why the return for him was seemingly light.
Finally, the reliever market continues to move, so we take a look at who is still available in free agency and trade. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
