Merrill Kelly is back with the Diamondbacks on a two-year, $40 million deal, filling one of Arizona’s biggest offseason needs. We break down whether Kelly combined with Michael Soroka is enough to make the D-backs’ starting rotation a true contender in 2026. Plus, we explore how Kelly’s return impacts the chances of a potential Ketel Marte trade, answer your Mailbag Monday questions, and weigh whether Lourdes Gurriel Jr. could actually be back in time for Opening Day.
