The Diamondbacks have re-signed Merrill Kelly and added Michael Soroka and James McCann while trading Kyle Backhus and Jake McCarthy. General manager Mike Hazen aims to enhance the pitching staff and add offensive depth, particularly focusing on the bullpen which struggled last season. With payroll constraints, the team may explore trades for pitchers like Freddy Peralta or Kodai Senga and seek platoon players for offense, potentially targeting Paul Goldschmidt or Rhys Hoskins. The bullpen, in particular, needs a stabilizing late-inning arm due to injuries affecting key relievers.
