The Diamondbacks took care of business against the Colorado Rockies over the weekend behind stellar series from Blaze Alexander, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Ketel Marte and more. Is it possible that the D-backs' playoff hopes are not dead after all? 

Plus, we dive in to Alexander's incredible month of August. What does it mean for Jordan Lawlar as he prepares to return to Triple-A? And what do we make of Eduardo Rodriguez continuing to struggle in the majors? Could he be headed for the same fate as Madison Bumgarner? 

Finally, we give some injury updates and take a look at the team's upcoming series against the Texas Rangers, where they will encounter a familiar face. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

With this tumultuous 2025 season winding down, Arizona Diamondbacks President & CEO Derrick Hall told the Arizona Republic that the team will likely cut payroll heading into 2026. Will the front office still have sufficient resources to make offseason additions? We do a deep dive on the club's payroll situation, including a look at guaranteed 2026 contracts and non-tender candidates. 

We also discuss Blaze Alexander's recent offensive surge and the role could play next season. Plus, we explain why a Zac Gallen turnaround in the second half could have meaningful implications for the club this winter. 

Finally, we give injury updates on Jordan Lawlar, Gabriel Moreno and Kevin Ginkel. Will Lawlar be promoted to the majors as soon as he is healthy? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory!

The Diamondbacks dropped a three-game series to the San Diego Padres to open the week as the bullpen continued to struggle and the offense was unable to come through when it mattered most. What stood out from the series? 

We also dive in to your mailbag questions on a variety of topics, from what needs to happen for the Diamondbacks to contend in 2026 to which players' jobs are fighting for their jobs down the stretch to which D-backs prospects we'd like to see in the Arizona Fall League.

Over the past two weeks, the Diamondbacks added more prospects to their MLB Pipeline top 30 list than any other team in the majors. In this episode, we are joined by Jesse Borek, prospect writer for MLB.com, to discuss the influx of new minor league talent in the organization, including Mitch Bratt, Tyler Locklear, Kohl Drake and more. 

We also touch on several longer tenured prospects, such as Tommy Troy and Ivan Melendez, both of whom recently earned promotions. Finally, we discuss the team's series win against the Athletics over the weekend and preview the team's upcoming series against the San Diego Padres.

In the minutes leading up to the trade deadline, the Diamondbacks dealt right-hander Merrill Kelly to the Texas Rangers for three pitching prospects, including left-hander Kohl Drake, left-hander Mitch Bratt and right-hander David Hagaman. How did the D-backs do in the trade? 

The D-backs also struck a last-minute deal with the Milwaukee Brewers that sent Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery to Milwaukee. Also notable, right-hander Zac Gallen was not traded and will remain with the team the rest of the year. Was that a missed opportunity or just smart asset management by Mike Hazen and the front office?

The Diamondbacks swung a late-night trade on Wednesday that sent Eugenio Suárez back to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for three prospects: first baseman Tyler Locklear, right-hander Juan Burgos and right-hander Hunter Cranton. 

We discuss the mechanical change that Locklear made earlier this season that might've played a key role in the D-backs' interest in him, and we break down everything we know about Burgos and Cranton, each of whom could play a role in the D-backs' bullpen some time soon. 

Finally, did the D-backs get enough in the trade? And what could be coming next? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on a special late-night live edition of Snakes Territory.

The MLB Trade Deadline is now under 24 hours away, and the Arizona Diamondbacks have been quiet for a few days. Do we still expect to see Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly and Eugenio Suárez moved by 3 PM on Thursday afternoon? We discuss everything we know about the markets for Suárez, Gallen and Kelly. 

Plus, is it possible that Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen would move any other major leaguers? We also talk about the team's lackluster showing against the Detroit Tigers.

After seeing the Diamondbacks score one run in 29 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend, general manager Mike Hazen seemingly has little reason to hold onto any of his players on expiring contracts. Did Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly just pitch their final games with the Diamondbacks? Is an Eugenio Suárez trade inevitable? 

We discuss the latest news and scoops on how the Diamondbacks will approach the next few days. We also discuss the apparent impact that those trade rumors have had on the team's on-field performance. 

Finally, we analyze the Diamondbacks' return for Randal Grichuk, who was dealt to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Did the D-backs get enough for the veteran outfielder? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on a new episode of Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks' sell-off began on Thursday as they dealt first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners for LHP Brandyn Garcia and RHP Ashton Izzi. Did the D-backs get enough in return?

After sweeping the Cardinals, the Diamondbacks got swept by the Astros. What went wrong against Houston? Does this mean mean the Diamondbacks will sell aggressively at the upcoming trade deadline? 

We take a look at several top young pitchers from the Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners and other potential trade partners that could be of interest. Could the D-backs realistically land a major-league-ready, controllable starter? 

Finally, we discuss how we think the team should approach the trade deadline. Should they deal both Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly or just one? Why do teams seem to prefer Gallen despite what the numbers say? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on a new episode of Snakes Territory.
