The Arizona Diamondbacks finished 86-76, winning the NL West but missing the playoffs. In this mailbag, we discuss why Torey Lovullo was retained despite the miss and how Gabriel Moreno’s batting title impacts the catcher depth chart.

We analyze the roster battles, including the fifth starter spot between Blake Walston and Ryne Nelson, and whether the bullpen needs external help to reach the 2027 playoffs. We also touch on the impact of robot umpires and the performance of league leaders like Jacob Misiorowski.

Key players discussed include Gabriel Moreno, Torey Lovullo, Blake Walston, Ryne Nelson, Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, Nolan Arenado, and Lars Nootbaar.
