Dbacks off-season. 2024

[GatorAZ]

Okay? He hit .286 vs Righties and .284 vs Lefties in 2024... basically the same, but no HRs vs Lefties in 2024.

Only 6 XBH vs LHP so there’s more to it than just batting average. A big issue with him is he’s been a negative WAR defensive player his entire career. If a team makes a worthy enough offer based on that month long hot streak you strongly consider it.

 

[Bobster]

I'd like to see McCarthy say, and although I don't think Thomas is ever going to be much of a hitter his defense is nice to have, at least until Jones is ready.

And they can't get Montgomery out of here soon enough for me.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I would hold on to Montgomery. If they trade him they wouldn’t get much back and will probably have to eat salary. I see him as a perfect player to bounce back. He’s never been that bad, he will have a full off season and training camp, and he will be going into another contract year.

Apparently, there is mutual interest with Max Scherzer

I think the guy turns 50 this year. No. LOL.

Very unpopular. Montgomery sucked in St. Louis (that's why he was jettisoned), had a miracle "one season wonder" with Texas, and then went off the suckicity scale in AZ. Trade the bum, take the loss, and move on. Owner knows he made a mistake. He gambled and lost on Montgomery.

Who Could Platoon At First Base for the D-backs?

The Diamondbacks will have to likely fill the right-handed power void at first base. What are their platoon options alongside Pavin Smith?

RUMOR: 2 teams that could potentially threaten the Dbacks-Joc Pederson reunion this offseason are the Rangers & Astros
Even after the Kyle Higashioka signing, the Rangers are looking to add another power bat to the lineup. With Jonah Heim struggling from the left side of the plate last year, Pederson could provide some thump they were missing
As for the Astros, as of now it seems like they're keep an eye on Joc Pederson & his progress this winter. Guessing Pederson could be part of an Alex Bregman contingency plan if Houston loses him this offseason. Would be curious to how they incorporate Pederson & Alvarez into a lineup together, more left field for Yordan vs RHP?
