I wish they would have spent more money on established bullpen guys like Jensen or Kimbrel as that unit was team's Achilles Heal and still appears to be.

How is signing a dude with a 1.80 WHIP a high reward signing?

This dude hasn't had a sub 4 FIP since 2018.

Because like Kendrick, he's cheap. This offseason is proof organization is not committed to winning now. All we're missing is Tom Berenger, Wesley Snipes and Charlie Sheen.
Can’t believe the photo that surfaced of the team plane:

Grade: B+

Despite some constraints, the Diamondbacks got better. They didn’t have much money to spend, settling mostly for around-the-edges improvements like a few big-armed relievers and bench pieces like Evan Longoria and Kyle Lewis. But they nailed their big offseason move, trading Daulton Varsho for catching prospect Gabriel Moreno and veteran outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., clearing up a lefty-batting outfield logjam and landing one of the game’s best prospects in Moreno, who just happens to address an organizational weakness. Why no A grade? Because while the Diamondbacks got better, it’s less certain to say they became good. One big, win-now move — akin to their reported flirtation with Xander Bogaerts — might have put them over the top. — Zach Buchanan
