Arizona Cardinals linked to new quarterback name

The Arizona Cardinals are in a flux, and the biggest question that needs to be answered is who will be the quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals in 2026? The options on the roster right now are Kyler Murray (likely to be traded/cut), Jacoby Brissett (trade candidate?), and Kedon Slovis (a backup at best). So, who […]

SnakeBytes 2/17: Three Days to Spring Games!

Diamondbacks News The Diamondbacks’ Next Competitive Window Depends On Ryne Nelson by Michael McDermott [Mike’s Hardball Blueprint]. {Ed. Note: Loved this analysis from Michael. I’m not great with pitcher analytics but Michael does a great job here explaining the ‘nitty gritty’ on why certain pitches should or shouldn’t work to help Nelson round out his […]

RB James Conner Could Be Cap Casualty

Cardinals News The Arizona Cardinals may be forced to part ways with one of the most beloved players in their locker room this offseason. Running back James Conner, coming off a season-ending foot injury that limited him to just three games in 2025, is a leading candidate to be released as the team looks to [...]

Do broken hamate bones sap player power?

The news that Corbin Carroll had suffered a broken hamate bone in his hand was not the way the D-backs wanted to start spring training. I guess the good news – if there is any – is that the injury happened at the beginning of the pre-season, minimizing the amount of regular season time lost. […]

What if Rams don’t hire an offensive coordinator?

The Los Angeles Rams’ 2025 season came to a close three weeks ago and it’s been two weeks since former offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur was hired as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. Still, the Rams have yet to replace LaFleur and are the last team in the NFL yet to fill that position. […]

Elephant Rumblings: Holman Claimed By Diamondbacks

Morning everyone and happy President’s Day! Yesterday afternoon we got word that right-handed reliever Grant Holman was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks, ending his time in the A’s system and thinning out the bullpen: That’s lame. The A’s were clearly trying to sneak him though waivers and hoping he would go unclaimed. That […]

Arizona Diamondbacks news, 2/16: Gallentine’s Weekend

Team news [Arizona Sports] Zac Gallen turned down multiyear deals to bet on himself with Diamondbacks – He opted to return to a comfortable place and bet on having a better season before entering free agency again. “We did have multiyear offers out there, which was nice from the security standpoint,” Gallen said. “I’ve always […]

Cardinals Free Agency Tracker: EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson

There is a saying in the NFL: Build from the lines out. The Arizona Cardinals need help on the offensive and defensive lines. They own the third pick in this year’s first round of the NFL draft, and with that selection will either take an offensive tackle or an EDGE rusher. That’s a pretty safe […]

Open Thread: Gratitude for Chris Paul

Friday evening was the kick off to the NBA All-Star Weekend. It was also the Chris Paul officially announced his retirement. There are many, many accolades to list after the career the Point God had. Mad respect to those who put this list of every assist he ever made. The way Chris Paul unceremoniously separated […]

Implications of the Zac Gallen Signing

Gallen’s back, just in time for Galentine’s day. Knee jerk reaction? DBacksEurope: It is probably true that Gallen improves the 2026 rotation. 2025 first half Gallen was probably a worser version of the pitcher that he actually is, but we’ve seen Zac becoming increasingly worse and frustrated over the past few seasons, to an extent […]

Kyle Karros is ready to make the Rockies his own

Scottsdale, Ariz. – After the Rockies traded Ryan McMahon at the 2025 deadline, Kyle Karros became the heir apparent at third base. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on August 8 against the Arizona Diamondbacks and started hot, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, three RBI, two walks and two strikeouts. He hit his first home […]

Cubs historical sleuthing: Double play edition

The first thing I thought of — and maybe you did, too — on seeing the name “HESTER” was Devin Hester, the Hall of Fame Bears kick returner/defensive back. Obviously, this isn’t Devin Hester. I had no recollection of this Diamondbacks player when BCB reader Clark Addison sent me the photo, so off I went […]

Cardinals Free Agency Tracker: DT John Franklin-Myers

The Arizona Cardinals are either good at defensive tackle or in trouble. Calais Campbell is the ageless wonder and was a valuable asset last season. But he is a free agent, and so far, no negotiations are on the table to keep him in-house. So is backup L.J. Collier and PJ Mustipher.   RELATED: CARDINALS […]

QB the Cardinals may have an interest in remaining in school

The quarterback market coming out of college got another hit when Trinidad Chambliss of Ole Miss was granted an extra year of eligibility by a state judge on Thursday. Earlier, Oregon QB Dante Moore had pulled his name from consideration and announced he will remain in school another year. The Cardinals will most likely draft […]

What would make you check out on the 2026 season early?

We’ve all been there. Probably, as D-backs fans, more often than we would like. You reach a certain point in the season, look at the standings and realize that this is not going to be the Diamondbacks’ year. Maybe you keep watching games; maybe you watch fewer of them; maybe you switch over to just […]

AZSnakepit Fantasy Baseball 2026

It’s me, ISH95, your Entertainment Manager for AZ Snakepit! I will be commissioner of the Minor League for Fantasy Baseball, for what I believe is the 20th season of the Snakepit leagues. Getting started a little late this season, so without further ado, let’s jump right into the specifics! That’s all there is to it! […]

Zac Gallen re-signing with Arizona Diamondbacks

As first reported by Steve Gilbert, Zac Gallen is returning to the D-backs on a one-year deal. The amount involved is $22 million, which is basically the same amount as the qualifying offer Gallen declined at the start of the winter. However, Ken Rosenthal reports that approximately $14 million of that is deferred. It’s a […]

Cubs news: Cubs sign reliever Shelby Miller

The Cubs have reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with veteran right-handed reliever Shelby Miller. Fansided’s Robert Murray was reportedly first with the news. Miller, 35, pitched quite effectively last year with the Diamondbacks, posting a 1.98 ERA and ten saves in 37 games before he was traded to the Brewers at the trade deadline, […]

2026 Arizona Diamondbacks Roster Dark Horse: Dylan Ray

Dylan Ray might be ahead only of Jose Fernandez, in terms of being the least well-known player on the 40-man roster. Ray was a fourth-round pick in 2022, after barely thirty collegiate innings, and it has been an up-and-down struggle since. Of the four “real” levels at which he has played, High-A ball is the […]
