Zac Gallen is officially back at Spring Training with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and suddenly everything feels right again. We hear directly from Gallen on reuniting with the D-backs, why returning to Arizona made sense, and why he believed it would be either him or Merrill Kelly returning but not both.

Speaking of the Mainstay, Kelly reacts to being named the Opening Day starter and what it means to have Gallen back alongside him in the rotation. Plus, comments from Derrick Hall have us wondering if another roster move could still be coming before Opening Day.
