Diamondbacks Look for More Future Market Success in 2025

Diamondbacks Look for More Future Market Success in 2025

Consider that Arizona won 89 games in 2024 yet failed to make the playoffs in the hyper-competitive National League. So far, Arizona is in the middle of the pack in the futures market to win the 2025 World Series. Arizona had an impressive offseason, which offers hope for the potential of another D-Backs playoff run. With a baseball betting odds record of 84-78, the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks barely made the National League Playoffs as a wild card team. Yet the Diamondbacks went all the way to the World Series, where they ran out of steam against the superior Texas Rangers, losing four games to one.

2025 Arizona Diamondbacks Manager and Key Players

Major offshore bookmaker moves: Signed SP Corbin Burnes to a 6-year deal, Acquired 1B Josh Naylor via trade from the Cleveland Guardians, Re-signed OF Randal Grichuk to a 1-year deal

Last year, Arizona missed the playoffs by a single game, in large part because their bullpen was unreliable. So far this winter, they’ve done nothing to remedy that problem. That’s the only thing keeping them from a perfect offseason grade.

Since 2017, Torey Lovullo has been the Arizona manager. He has produced two MLB odds playoff campaigns and five winning seasons.

2B Ketel Marte produced 94 runs, 26 doubles, nine triples, 25 home runs, and 82 runs batted in with a .276 average and .843 OPS in 2023. In 2024, Marte produced 92 runs, 23 doubles, 36 home runs, 95 RBI, and a .932 OPS. Martel is a 2-time All-Star.

RHP Zac Gallen is the number-two starter for Arizona. Last year, Gallen was 14-6 with a 3.65 earned run average and 1.26 WIP. In 2023, he was 17-9 with a 3.47 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Gallen was a 2023 All-Star.

Keeping Randal Grichuk, especially with Joc Pederson’s and Kevin Newman’s departures, is a sneaky big deal; that trio was critical to the D-backs’ league-leading offense last season. Adding another reliable bench piece or two would be a smart play.

Adding Naylor as a replacement for Christian Walker, who departed to Houston in free agency, was a solid move. Naylor doesn’t have Walker’s track record of consistency or his defensive chops, but he’s a more than sufficient fill-in.

Signing Corbin Burnes is a massive win for a franchise that doesn’t typically swim in the deep end of free agency. It’s extraordinarily rare for a player such as Burnes, one of the best pitchers in baseball and the best starter available this offseason, to leave even a nickel on the table. The Diamondbacks weren’t planning to make a run at the burly hurler, but once Burnes voiced his desire to play near his home in Scottsdale, Arizona, it became too good of an opportunity to pass up.
