Diamondbacks News

The Arizona Diamondbacks are making significant managerial and roster adjustments ahead of the 2027 season. After two seasons with pitching coach Brian Kaplan, the team has decided to part ways, signaling a potential shift in strategy for their rotation.

Meanwhile, star outfielder Ketel Marte is expected to face fewer defensive adjustments in 2027, as the Diamondbacks plan to reduce the interference calls that have previously benefited him. The team is also actively pursuing free-agent outfielder Randy Arozarena, though their chances of landing him appear slim compared to other suitors.

On the arbitration front, the Diamondbacks are reportedly preparing to non-tender pitcher Pavin Smith, a decision that aligns with broader expectations across the league. Off the field, the team celebrated manager Torey Lovullo’s birthday, adding a personal touch to the offseason preparations.
