Team News ‘Couldn’t feel my legs’: Bratt outduels Mize for first MLB win in stellar outing “It’s great,” Bratt said. “It’s a surreal feeling, to be honest. I don’t think it’s going to sink in for quite some time. But just thankful for [catcher James McCann] and thankful for everybody that’s been a part of this […]
D-Backs spoil first impression for Casey Mize with 10-4 win
Baseball is a funny sport sometimes. There aren’t very many sports or opportunities in life where you can get embarrassed and then come back less than 24 hours later to face the exact same team and completely flip the script and result of the two contests. Thankfully, baseball isn’t most sports and that’s exactly what […]

Snake Bytes 8/5: A Rough Night at the Office

Marte also had a rare defensive blunder that exacerbated a rough inning for Rodriguez. Roderiguez had a bumpy outing but gutted out 5.2 innings of work to save the bullpen […]
Noot the Way You Wanted this to Go: Dbacks 4, Padres 9
Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo started off his postgame interview stating that this game had a ‘funky rhythm’ to it, and I think that is a great way to summarize it. Eduardo Rodriguez who went 8 scoreless in his last outing, got jumped in this outing. The Padres came out of the gates with a lot […]

AZ Snake Pit Reacts Survey: Playoffs?!?! PLAYOFFS!?!?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Diamondbacks fans and fans across the country. So, that was the trade deadline. It passed, as far as the Diamondbacks are concerned, not with a bang but with a whimper. The sole trade […]
NL Wild Card Race and Trade Deadline Impacts
Inspiration. The Diamondbacks are above .500 and I’m excited that they could play in the postseason. At the same time, many starting pitchers are on the injured list, and there is delay in the return of Corbin Burnes. Also, performance at first base, left field, and center field are weak. Despite limited resources, how will […]
Dead at the Deadline
Deadline Madness for All…Well Mostly all. The trade deadline is one of the most hectic days of the entire regular season for all ball clubs, whether you are a fan of a team that is already looking ahead to the next season for how they can improve or a team that is in the middle […]
Snake Bytes, 8/4: Deadline Dub and a Deal That Died
Game Recaps Pfaadt, Tawa lead Diamondbacks past Padres in NL wild-card position matchup [ESPN] Tim Tawa hit a three-run homer and Brandon Pfaadt carried a shutout into the seventh inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 Monday night in the opener of a 10-game homestand against NL West rivals. The victory moved the Diamondbacks two games ahead of […]
Pfaadt and Tawa take Arizona past San Diego
Record: 60-53. Pace: 86-76. Change on 2025: +6. The resurrection of Brandon Pfaadt continues. The team won his seventh consecutive start since he came back from Reno. The pitcher should have a 7-0 record, if not for the Thompson/Sewald meltdown in Pittsburgh. He’ll have to settle for being 6-0 with a 1.55 ERA (40.2 IP […]
Grading the Arizona Diamondbacks 2026 Trade Deadline moves
Introduction The Diamondbacks entered August 3rd, the day of the trade deadline with a 59-53 record, 10 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West Division, but holding down the 2nd NL wild card slot.

Arizona Diamondbacks trade for Lars Nootbaar
Well, Mike Hazen certainly took his time, news breaking with only about ten minutes to go before the trade deadline at 3 pm Arizona time. Jorge Castillo of ESPN was the first to break the news, that the team has agreed a deal with the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Lars Nootbaar. The 28-year-old is […]
Diamondbacks take the field against the Padres following the trade deadline
First of all, if you’re here reading this, thank you. This will be publishing at noon on deadline day, and I’m sure it will be sandwiched between articles on here with news and updates, or barring that, fevered refreshes of MLBTR. Appreciate you stopping. Second, take everything from here on out with a grain of […]
The Diamondbacks and the Trade Deadline Part 3: Deadline Day (Open Discussion)
The trade deadline has arrived. The final dots and crosses must made made to all the letters and all the agreements must be in to the Commissioner’s Office by 3:00 p.m. MST. As is often the case, there is an expectation that there will still be some contracts with wet ink at the time. However, […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 8/3: Deadline Day
Recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks manage just 2 hits in rain-delayed loss to Guardians – The Guardians scored five runs off Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly (8-9), who allowed eight hits. Kelly walked four with five strikeouts in five innings of work, and ran into major trouble in the bottom of the fifth inning. He gave up […]
Guardians of the Wild Card
Guardians of the Wild Card Following the series victory in the Steel City over another NL Wild Card in the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Dbacks made the last stop on their 4 city road trip, this time facing off against another Wild Card contender in the Cleveland Guardians. While both the Guards and Pirates are trying […]
Potential trade targets for the Diamondbacks
The trade deadline is upon us. Who is your pie in the sky preferred choice for Hazen to acquire? James Attwood: I’m not sure there is one. I think the best “reasonable” target (which may well be far beyond Arizona’s reach) is Reid Detmers. He’s a quality starter who slots easily into the top half […]

The Diamondbacks and the Trade Deadline Part 2: The Ask
With so many needs on the 26-man roster and with so many question marks regarding the future impact of currently injured players, what sort of reasonable moves might Mike Hazen and his staff make with their limited draft capital and only $6-7 million of payroll room to work with? Left Field/Impact Bat This might be […]

Team News D-backs kick off ‘moving month’ with big night at the plate“It’s my favorite month of baseball,” Lovullo said. “I think the season starts to take shape. The contenders and pretenders start to separate. So I think the real teams, and the ones that are capable of carrying on for the next two months, […]
Diamondbacks 12, Guardians 8: Swan Song?
Unusually for me, I went into this game completely cold: I barely got to watch yesterday’s game, we haven’t had Guardians games on the TV much this year, and I didn’t have a chance to read DBE’s series preview, as I was very much in the throes of moving hell until this morning. But my […]
