D-backs from Joc Pederson Farewell to a Slugger in the past offseason, who made 132 appearances in 2024 with designated batsmen and made a great appearance with a stellar .275/.393/.515 Slash in 449 set appearances. Pederson is limited to 42 sets of left-handed pitching, but against a mid-stream tay post in the right-handed opponent's lineup. He used wrc+ measurements, torture with right and right hand edited by .281/.392/.531 – 54% higher than the league average.
Arizona spent more than anyone expected in the past offseason, but most of the spending was in the form of their amazing six-year, $210mm right-handed signing Corbin Burnes. This marks the largest contract in franchise history and helps push payroll to record levels. Understandably, at least in terms of financial commitment, the rest of the front desk moves on the smaller side. trade Josh Naylor replace Christian Walker The price at first base is about half of what it is in 2025 (around one-sixth of the overall financial commitment). Re-sign Randal Grichuk Spend another $5 mm. Relief Kendall Graveman and Jalen Beeks Signature is $2mm.
The two-year, $37mm deal that Pederson and The Rangers were announced the same day that Burnes traded with The Diamondbacks.
