Did Corbin Carroll really have a down season in 2026, or are we just taking his steady production for granted? Is there still a path for him to become a bonafide MVP candidate? We discuss Carroll's uneven 2026 season, what has kept him from putting it all together and why he could still reach another level.

We also talk about the D-backs winning three Gold Glove awards, including Carroll in right field, Gabriel Moreno at catcher, and Geraldo Perdomo at shortstop. What did their defense metrics say about their performance on that side of the ball?

Finally, we discuss the D-backs losing several noteworthy players to minor league free agency, including first baseman Pavin Smith, left-hander Tommy Henry and former top prospect Kristian Robinson. How will we look back on their tenure with the D-backs? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory Network.

With the GM meetings officially under way in Las Vegas, general manager Mike Hazen spoke to reporters on Tuesday about the possibility of a Ketel Marte trade. If a deal were to come together, what would Hazen want in return? His answer on Tuesday came as a bit of a surprise.

After discussing five potential pitcher trade targets in our previous show, we add one more to the list: Christian Scott of the New York Mets. What makes Scott attractive, and would Marte be enough to get him? What if the D-backs put Ryan Waldschmidt or Jordan Lawlar on the table?

Finally, we discuss the latest reporting on Nolan Arenado's potential move to first base. Plus, would Hazen feel comfortable plugging in top prospect Demetrio Crisantes at second base if Marte is dealt? Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers discuss all this and more in the latest edition of Snakes Territory, the official Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.

Report: D-backs Want This in Ketel Marte Trade Talks

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bfe93a1e-db68-46e9-afe6-b4ff00698b92/transcript

As Ketel Marte trade rumors continue to swirl, we take a look at several potential trade partners for the Diamondbacks. Specifically, which controllable starting pitchers could the D-backs acquire in a Marte deal? We discuss Boston Red Sox left-hander Jake Bennett, New York Yankees righty Will Warren, a trio of Detroit Tigers right-handers and more. Does Marte actually have enough trade value to net a top-flight starter?

Meanwhile, Corbin Carroll reportedly underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. What is the prognosis, and what does it mean for his 2027 season? Finally, we talk about Carroll and catcher Gabriel Moreno being named Silver Slugger finalists. How likely are they to win?

5 Pitchers the D-backs Could Target in Ketel Marte Trade

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/07ea7505-42c7-4de3-b31a-b4fb0052e2d4/transcript

With the MLB offseason officially under way, we discuss general manager Mike Hazen's comments on how he sees the next month shaking out. Is Hazen leaning toward a Ketel Marte trade? What would it look like for the Diamondbacks, and why would another team do it considering Marte's off-the-field issues?

We also dive in to the hiring of Ben Fritz as the team's new pitching coach. What is Fritz's reputation, and why did the D-backs feel the need to make a change?

Finally, we take a look at the team's projections for 2027 and narrow in on starting pitching. Is a "depth arm" enough to set the team up well? Would the team trade a current starter in order to create a spot for a newcomer?
