  • Questions Abound for D-backs As Cubs Sign Alex Bregman
    Jan 12 2026

    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.

  • BREAKING: D-backs Pull Ketel Marte Off Trade Market — What’s Next?
    Jan 10 2026

    After multiple months of ongoing trade rumors, the Diamondbacks made it clear to the baseball world on Friday that they are no longer considering a trade of Ketel Marte. What does this mean for the team's pursuit of Alex Bregman? And why did it take so long for the team to put these trade discussions to bed?

    We also discuss the Diamondbacks' remaining offseason needs, with a particular focus on the bullpen. Aside from Seranthony Dominguez, what low-cost options are still available in free agency?

    Finally, we discuss the team settling with all eight of its arbitration eligible players. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

  • Steve Gilbert Joins: Is Mike Hazen Working On Something Big?
    Jan 9 2026

    Despite the rumors surrounding Ketel Marte and Alex Bregman, the Diamondbacks' offseason has been eerily quiet for several weeks. Could general manager Mike Hazen be plotting something big that we're not considering? Long-time D-backs beat writer Steve Gilbert joins the show to discuss.

    Were the D-backs really serious about moving on from Marte trade talks? How does Ken Kendrick's evolution as owner impact the team's Bregman pursuit? And how will the D-backs go about adding to their bullpen this offseason with so few options available in free agency?

    Join Jesse Friedman and special guest Steve Gilbert on this episode of Snakes Territory.
