Mailbag: Are Pavin Smith and Zac Gallen Running Out of Time With the D-backs? | Snakes Territory

The Diamondbacks lost their final game to the San Francisco Giants, and Zac Gallen struggled once again. Will the D-backs change how they use Gallen moving forward?

We also dive in to a plethora of mailbag questions. Is Pavin Smith running out of time, and why has the team had so much patience with him? How secure are Torey Lovullo and Mike Hazen's jobs? How does the Blaze Alexander trade look in retrospect?

Plus, we preview the upcoming series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory Network.
