12/25/23 Diamondbacks DH options who could be under Christmas tree. Major League Baseball's free agent market remains packed with hitters as the Arizona Diamondbacks continue to look for another bat.

Martinez have been linked to Arizona for much of the offseason as right-handed options, although the D-backs now have the flexibility to find a DH on either side of the plate.

12/22/23 Diamondbacks prioritized Lourdes Gurriel Jr. return, looking for DH. Free agent Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was a natural fit to return to the Arizona Diamondbacks this winter, a club looking for exactly what he provided in 2023 as a right-handed bat in the outfield and a clubhouse presence. The two sides stayed in touch through the general manager meetings and winter meetings, but their negotiations picked up as the free agency process played out more recently. The D-backs announced their agreement with Gurriel on Friday, and general manager Mike Hazen explained Gurriel was a top target of Arizona's this winter on the left field market. “We felt like we needed to continue to add to our outfield and then the middle of our lineup, specifically right-handed hitting,” Hazen said in a Zoom press conference on Friday.
