The Diamondbacks did it again. After not scoring for seven innings, they broke through late against the Kansas City Royals and found a way to win their fourth straight game. Blake Walston and Tim Tawa came through when it mattered most, and Corbin Burnes was effective in his long-awaited return to the mound.

We dive in to all angles of the win, including our thoughts on Burnes' return. Should we be concerned that Burnes' stuff was still down a tick or two? What expectations should we have moving forward? Meanwhile, the D-backs named Zac Gallen as their starting pitcher for Wednesday with Michael Soroka pitching behind him.

We also discuss Ryne Nelson getting close to a return, and the San Diego Padres pulling off a dramatic win of their own to stay half a game back.

Corbin Burnes Returns, Tim Tawa & Blake Walston Shine in Wild D-backs Win vs. Royals

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/876e7d4c-ac39-4040-a784-b4c0005005b6/transcript

We continue our search for left-handed hitting with a look at five potential options from the trade market, starting with Marlins first baseman Kyle Stowers. What is there to like about him, and would the D-backs have what it would take to lure him away?

Other top candidates include Vinnie Pasquantino of the Kansas City Royals and Alec Burleson of the St. Louis Cardinals. We also touch on a pair of familiar faces, including long-time Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker. Does Walker have enough left in the tank to warrant a reunion?

5 Hitter Trade Targets for the D-backs

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0396f36a-ac3d-4e4c-be8a-b4ec006c75e3/transcript

With the Diamondbacks set to target a left-handed hitter this offseason, we dive in to five potential lefty 1B/DH targets in free agency, starting with Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato. Could Sato be even better than Munetaka Murakami's debut season with the Chicago White Sox? How much would he cost, and where would he play?

We also talk about NLCS MVP Jake Bauers. Was his breakout season a one-off, or is he actually one of the premier hitters in the sport? We also talk about a few lower cost options, plus a potential reunion with former D-backs DH Joc Pederson.

5 Lefty Bats the D-backs Could Target in Free Agency

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/9b59d8e2-2a08-40f2-a7e1-b4ea00500aec/transcript

The Diamondbacks have 10 impending free agents this winter, and we can already say pretty confidently that these five won't return in 2027. The list includes Zac Gallen, Jonathan Loaísiga and more. We explain why we are so confident that none of them will be back next year.

Next, we take a look at five more impending free agents who could return in 2027 and make a case for each of them. Chief among them is right-hander Michael Soroka, who was one of the team's more reliable starters in 2026. What will Soroka's price be? Plus, will the D-backs' love affair with Ildemaro Vargas continue next year and beyond?

Finally, we discuss the team's four Gold Glove award finalists and the odds for each to win. We also talk about the Dodgers getting swept by the Brewers and whether Los Angeles' aging roster is finally catching up to them. Plus, who's up for some Banana Ball at Chase Field?
