Snakes Territory: an Arizona Diamondbacks podcast

Will D-backs Bring Back Merrill Kelly This Offseason?

Episode Summary

It's no secret that Merrill Kelly has interest in returning to the Diamondbacks this winter, but could the D-backs afford him? We take a look at comps from the past few years and attempt to project Kelly's value on the open market. Meanwhile, first baseman Tyler Locklear is set to undergo a major elbow/shoulder surgery. What does it mean for the team's first base situation heading into 2026? A recent report suggests that improving the position will not be a priority this offseason. Finally, we circle back to Geraldo Perdomo reaching 100 RBI and his very real case to be a top finisher in NL MVP voting. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
