Good stuff here as usual from
@nickpiecoro

- Don't expect payroll to be slashed, #Dbacks will remain competitive in '25
- Christian Walker is expected to receive the $21.05M QO
- Nick believes Joc Pederson is "likely to decline" his

I can see more Marte being our DH and still play some second to give guys days off here and there .

Walker is more important than people think but if you can get a guy like Vlad Jr in a trade then I would seriously consider it.

Interested to see how they approach the pitching staff. Do they trade Gallen? Are we stuck with Montgomery? If we are does he have a bounce back season? Are we worried about Kelly and his seemingly frequent injuries? Pffadt, Nelson and Rodriguez are locked in to spots in my opinion so I’m intrigued on how they move forward.

I would like to retain Walker - his glove and bat are a big piece of the puzzle.

Hard to move off those three SP.

3 SPs on one year deals is sub optimal

Not that he wasn’t already in the club’s plans, but Lawlar’s performance is serving as a sort of reminder that the Diamondbacks might already have in-house replacements for some of their potential free-agent departures.

First baseman Christian Walker and slugger Joc Pederson are expected to test free agency shortly after the end of the World Series. If both find their markets to be robust, it likely will mean they depart, creating holes at first base and designated hitter.

Diamondbacks could have in-house replacements should Christian Walker, Joc Pederson depart

In Jordan Lawlar and Pavin Smith, the Arizona Diamondbacks have a pair of intriguing internal options to take on bigger roles in the lineup in 2025.
