Diamondbacks Shake Up Roster: Are Naylor and Burnes the Key to a Playoff Push? 

The Arizona Diamondbacks have made some intriguing moves this offseason, bringing in Josh Naylor, Corbin Burnes, and Seth Martinez while letting Christian Walker walk. This raises some interesting questions about their strategy and future.

First off, how do you feel about the decision to trade for Naylor instead of retaining Walker? Naylor is younger and cheaper, but can he really fill the shoes of a player with a 3.0 fWAR? Is this a smart long-term play, or are the DBacks risking too much by banking on Naylor's potential?

Then there's Corbin Burnes. Adding him to an already solid rotation could be a game-changer. With all starters projected to keep walks low, do you think this approach will be effective in a high-altitude stadium where home runs can be a concern? Could Burnes be the ace that propels the DBacks into contention, or will the pressure of expectations weigh him down?

Lastly, what are your thoughts on Seth Martinez? His low strikeout rate is concerning, but if he can maintain a low BABIP, could he still be a valuable asset in the bullpen?

Let’s hear your bold predictions for the DBacks this season. Will they make a playoff push, or are they still a few pieces away? What do you think about their overall direction? Share your insights and let’s get the conversation rolling!
