Arizona faces an offseason crossroads after Eugenio Suárez left for Seattle. The D-backs reportedly eye Alex Bregman, who could opt out of Boston, to anchor a revamped infield with third/second-base versatility and leadership. Bregman’s 2023 line (.273/.360/.462, 18 HR, 62 RBI in 114) would boost the lineup, but Boston’s lure and a massive offer will shape the bid. In-house options Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar would need flexible deployment to maximize value if Bregman signs.

Diamondbacks management is weighing Jordan Lawlar's future as they chase 2026 success. After a rough rookie showing, a 14-game stretch produced a strong .323/.371/.516 line, but the sample size is modest and BABIP hints luck. Playing-time decisions—platoon, potential DH usage, and health—will shape whether he locks in a steady role or becomes trade capital for immediate help.

Geraldo Perdomo’s extension tightens the long-term plan, while LuJames Groover and Cristofer Torin loom behind as top-in-system options. Lawlar’s path may hinge on health and positional fit at third vs others, with the team balancing present needs against a high-upside future.
