The Diamondbacks made a surprise move on Thursday, trading utility infielder Blaze Alexander to the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Kade Strowd and prospects Wellington Aracena and Jose Mejia, according to multiple reports. We break down Arizona’s return, examine what this move means for the D-backs’ bullpen heading into 2026, and debate whether this trade could end up being a mistake by the front office.

Plus, we dive into the Tigers’ blockbuster addition of Framber Valdez and their arbitration loss with Tarik Skubal. Does Detroit now boast the best rotation in Major League Baseball? We also wrap things up with a look at the finalized World Baseball Classic rosters and the 78 All-Stars set to compete in this year’s tournament.
