The Arizona Diamondbacks have had one of the more eventful winter’s around baseball thus far, though what’s transpired has been more about the movement around them than their actions in the market. Save for the Goldschmidt trade, it’s been a passive offseason so far. The time for action is nigh. GM Mike Hazen has been clear about their intentions to remain competitive, but if they’re being forthright, they have some serious work to do.
The priorities at the top of Hazen’s to-do list, per MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert, include settling on a starting first baseman, finding a starter for center field and adding to the bullpen.
