Snakes Territory: an Arizona Diamondbacks podcast

Mailbag: Are The D-backs Priced Out Of The Reliever Market?

Episode Summary

With Devin Williams reportedly getting over $50 million from the New York Mets, can the D-backs still afford a bonafide closer in free agency? We discuss the Williams deal, the Dylan Cease contract with the Blue Jays, the Ryan Helsley deal with the Baltimore Orioles and the overall state of the market. Then, in this mailbag episode, we dive in to your questions on whether the D-backs should be more aggressive about converting pitching prospects to the bullpen, whether the Pittsburgh Pirates' Mike Burrows and Atlanta Braves' Hurston Waldrep could be trade targets and more. We also present a trade that would send Ketel Marte to the Miami Marlins in exchange for three players. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
