## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks finished the first half of the 2026 season on a high note, but the real story of this team is just beginning. We break down the biggest moments, disappointments, and turning points from the first half while looking ahead to what could define the D-backs’ playoff push. Speaking of the postseason, Mike Hazen and the front office have one glaring issue they must solve: first base. We dive into potential trade targets, separate realistic options from pipe dreams, discuss players who should be crossed off the list, and explore whether the answer could already be within the organization. It’s also Diehard Day on the show as we celebrate the fans who helped build PHNX and became the heartbeat of this community. Plus, we head down to the Snake Farm for the latest updates on some recently promoted prospects making noise throughout the Diamondbacks’ system.
