The Diamondbacks lost money last year. But they may still make some additions.

The Arizona Diamondbacks may still be looking to make some additions, despite a lengthy quiet period this offseason.

According to a recent article from The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro, more moves may still be on the horizon. D-backs team president and CEO Derrick Hall said the team is still exploring the market in multiple areas.

“I think there’s enough opportunity out there that we can still see a move or two that can impact our team,” Hall told Piecoro at the team’s charity golf event on Friday.

Reportedly, Hall touched on the idea of a "complementary first baseman" that could serve as the other half of a platoon with Pavin Smith. While a Paul Goldschmidt reunion doesn't appear to be as likely as it did at the beginning of the offseason, that remains a possibility. Hall also noted both the rotation and bullpen as areas the team could still address despite already adding both Merrill Kelly and Michael Soroka.

That could, of course, imply a potential re-signing of Zac Gallen. Gallen's market has not appeared to be nearly as robust as expected, and the D-backs were recently linked back to their former ace as the "front-runners" to re-sign him.

The D-backs have certainly not been on the upper end of spending this offseason, as they were expected to see a reduction in payroll.

Hall told Piecoro the Diamondbacks actually lost a significant amount of money in the 2025 season. He did not reveal the exact financial loss, but called it a "big number."

With that said, Hall noted there is still some room to spend on the roster, citing Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick's persistent willingness to invest in a winning product.

“We still have some room,” he said. “For a big splash, we’re probably going to have to get creative or look to move money if we’re going to do something really big. I think we’re pretty close to where we want to be, but we still have some room to make some moves.

“[Kendrick] has always been great in saying, ‘Let’s push the envelope,’ and that’s what we do. We don’t go into a season looking to make money. ... It’s all an attempt to bring a very competitive team to the field.”

“I think we still have some moves to make,” Hall said. “We’re not done.”
