Diamondbacks Eliminated as Offseason Reset Begins

Arizona’s 86-76 season ended with elimination on Sept. 28, extending its postseason drought to three years. Hazen wants pitching in trades without sacrificing value, while payroll remains uncertain; reports say Arizona is checking on Teruaki Sato, but no offer or negotiation is confirmed. Marte is available in trade discussions, though no offer, active negotiation, or deal is reported, and his veto rights remain a factor. A new article floats Toronto and Addison Barger as a possible fit but provides no substantiation, so it remains speculation.
