Diamondbacks biggest regret involving $105M All-Star isn't actually their worst move
The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently 26-24 in the 2026 season and are in contention for a Wild Card spot. While some offseason decisions have been regrettable, the biggest mistake is not related to their $105M All-Star, Ketel Marte. Instead, the team's struggles in the starting rotation, particularly with Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, are highlighted as a more significant concern.
- ▪The Diamondbacks are 4.5 games back in the NL West but only 2.5 games from a Wild Card spot.
- ▪Kerry Miller from Bleacher Report identified the decision not to trade Ketel Marte as a notable mistake.
- ▪Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly have struggled with ERAs of 4.78 and 5.71, respectively.
