The Diamondbacks made a move over the weekend, trading outfielder Jake McCarthy to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-handed pitcher Josh Grosz, Colorado’s No. 20 overall prospect. But does this deal signal that another move is imminent for Mike Hazen and the D-backs? We break down what free agents are still available, which direction Arizona should go to improve the roster, and what this trade means for the 2026 outfield.

We also react to the Chicago Cubs signing Alex Bregman to a $175 million deal and explain why, once again, this move never made sense for the Snakes. Plus, it’s time for another edition of Mailbag Monday with your best questions.

Did Diamondbacks Free Up Roster Spot for Another Move?
