Who Should D-backs Target In Offseason Closer Search?
After yet another year of bullpen stability, will the Diamondbacks make a significant investment in the backend of their bullpen this winter? We discuss the team's current financial situation and whether it could afford to add a big-name reliever this offseason. Specifically, we dive in to six potential closer targets that are available in free agency and explain the pros and cons for each. Could New York Yankees reliever Devin Williams be a strong buy-low candidate for the D-backs? Meanwhile, Chris Owings recently announced his retirement from Major League Baseball. We spend some time discussing Owings' once lofty prospect status and some of the highlights of his career.

Mailbag: How Bold Will Make Hazen Be In Upgrading D-backs Roster This Offseason?
With Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen's job security potentially in question next year, could we see him be particularly aggressive when upgrading the team this offseason? On this mailbag edition of the show, we discuss a variety of questions along those lines. Is the team more likely to bring back Merrill Kelly or Zac Gallen this offseason? Could they bring back? If they were to pursue a frontline starting pitcher, what options are available via free agency and trade? Plus, did Geraldo Perdomo, Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte form baseball's best trio in 2025?

Will D-backs Bring Back Merrill Kelly This Offseason?
It's no secret that Merrill Kelly has interest in returning to the Diamondbacks this winter, but could the D-backs afford him? We take a look at comps from the past few years and attempt to project Kelly's value on the open market. Meanwhile, first baseman Tyler Locklear is set to undergo a major elbow/shoulder surgery. What does it mean for the team's first base situation heading into 2026? A recent report suggests that improving the position will not be a priority this offseason. Finally, we circle back to Geraldo Perdomo reaching 100 RBI and his very real case to be a top finisher in NL MVP voting.
