## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially designated first baseman Pavin Smith for assignment after an underwhelming 2026 season at the plate. Derek and Rok break down why the move took so long, who could take over at first base, how this impacts the roster heading into the MLB trade deadline, and why the clock is ticking for Mike Hazen to make a move if the D-backs are serious about making a postseason push.
