While the Los Angeles Dodgers make headlines with a staggering $1 billion spending spree this offseason, the Arizona Diamondbacks are quietly making waves of their own in the National League West.
Despite being classified as a “low-market” team, the Diamondbacks have shattered franchise records in payroll, strategically reinforcing their roster after falling short in the World Series against the Texas Rangers.
Although Arizona’s acquisitions may not boast the same glitz and glamour as the Dodgers’ star-studded signings, they address crucial needs that became apparent during their World Series campaign.
The team’s General Manager (GM) recently shared insights into his offseason strategy, emphasizing a laser focus on their internal goals rather than getting sidetracked by the Dodgers’ spending spree.
