MLB Insider Says Diamondbacks CANNOT Add Alex Bregman Without Trading Ketel Marte

As we count the days until Mike Hazen shuts down trade calls on Ketel Marte, Bob Nightengale reports that the Diamondbacks will not be able to add Alex Bregman without first moving their All-Star second baseman. We break down the financial reality behind the report, why it actually makes sense, and why we’re perfectly happy moving forward with Marte still in a D-backs uniform.

We also dive into The Athletic’s report on the growing uncertainty surrounding local TV rights for nine MLB teams in 2026, ESPN delaying carrying local broadcasts until 2027, and how these television deals could dramatically impact payrolls across the league. Plus, we explain why Brandon Pfaadt is poised for a breakout season in 2026, and why we might never be able to watch the latest Knives Out mystery ever again.
