## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ offense has been the engine behind their success for the past few seasons, but in 2026 it may have become the team’s biggest problem. We break down just how concerning the offensive struggles have become, what the D-backs can realistically do to fix things with little help on the way, and why Ketel Marte might be the unluckiest hitter in baseball right now. We also preview Rivalry Weekend against the Colorado Rockies, set the stakes for this crucial series, and discuss why these games could have a major impact on Arizona’s season moving forward. Plus, we dive into the first meeting between MLB and the MLB Players Association regarding the next CBA, and take another trip down D-backs Memory Lane for Throwback Thursday.
