The Arizona Diamondbacks' off-season moves have left much to be desired, with fans and analysts alike questioning the team's strategy. While the signing of Merrill Kelly and Michael Soroka to bolster the rotation is a step in the right direction, it's not enough to compete in the highly competitive MLB. The bullpen, a critical area of weakness, has received almost half of the votes in a recent survey, highlighting the need for immediate attention. The team's struggles with relief pitching were well-documented in 2025, and the window to sign a top-tier closer has closed. With Ketel Marte off the market, the Diamondbacks face a challenging task in finding a suitable replacement. The lack of lower-tier signings is concerning, with only Seranthony Domínguez among the top 20 free-agent relievers still unsigned. The team's outfield and third base positions also require attention, with options like Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar raising questions about the team's long-term strategy. As the season approaches, the Diamondbacks must make strategic moves to address these weaknesses and improve their chances of success. The question remains: will Mike Hazen be able to make the necessary improvements to the team over the next couple of months?
