The Diamondbacks’ payroll for 2025 reached approximately $191.3MM, with a luxury tax figure of $214.8MM, and is projected to increase to $195.2MM and $223.7MM, despite managing general partner Ken Kendrick’s earlier statements about reduced spending. Kendrick emphasized the team’s commitment to fans and success, noting potential for additional acquisitions. Following a $30MM loss in 2025, the team aims to enhance competitiveness to boost attendance and revenue. Meanwhile, first baseman Tyler Locklear is expected to miss the start of the season due to surgery, with his return anticipated in mid-May or early June.
