René Pinto - Scooped up by Arizona The Diamondbacks claimed Pinto off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Pinto has hit .231/.263/.404 with 10 homers over 82 games at the big-league level and spent most of 2024 at Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization. He is out of minor-league options, so the Diamondbacks will need to carry him on the Opening Day roster or attempt to pass him through waivers.

Ryan Thompson - Avoids arbitration Thompson agreed on a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday to avoid arbitration.
Impact Thompson and Arizona were able to reach a deal before Thursday's deadline, though the complete details of the contract are currently unknown. The right-hander appeared in 67 regular-season games with the Diamondbacks in 2024, producing a 3.26 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 52 strikeouts, two saves and 24 holds over 66.1 innings. Thompson will likely continue to operate as a high-leverage reliever with Arizona in 2025.

Joe Mantiply - Avoids arbitration with Arizona Mantiply and the Diamondbacks avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.7 million contract Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mantiply finished the 2024 regular season with a 6-2 record across 75 appearances (including two starts) and posted 16 holds, 3.92 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 59.2 innings while registering an 8.0 K/9. The 33-year-old out of Virginia Tech will provide the Diamondbacks with a southpaw option out of the bullpen for the 2025 campaign.

A.J. Puk - Inks deal for 2025 Puk agreed to a one-year, $2.95 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Postreports.
Impact The left-hander began 2024 in the rotation for Miami but suffered a shoulder injury and was shifted back to the bullpen before being traded to Arizona. Puk finished the campaign with a 3.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 88:28 K:BB over 71.1 innings and should be a factor in the late innings for Diamondbacks, though Justin Martinez is expected to open 2025 as the favorite for saves.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Zac Gallen - Reaches $13.5 million deal for 2025 Gallen agreed to a one-year, $13.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gallen missed some time last season due to a hamstring strain but still made 28 starts for Arizona and posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 156:54 K:BB across 148 innings. The right-hander should serve as the Diamondbacks' No. 2 starter following the offseason signing of ace Corbin Burnes.

Geraldo Perdomo - Gets $2.55 million for 2025 Perdomo and the Diamondbacks avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $2.55 million deal, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Perdomo will be heading into his fourth season as the Diamondbacks' primary shortstop, though he may only be keeping the seat warm until top prospect Jordan Lawlar is ready for a full-time role at the MLB level. The 25-year-old Perdomo is a quality defender who hit at league-average level last season (.273/.344/.374 slash line, 101 wRC+), but he lacks power (.095 career ISO) and isn't a premium base stealer (34 stolen bases in 401 career games). He'll likely hit near the bottom of the batting order while he remains a regular in the Arizona lineup.

Josh Naylor - Settles at $10.9 million Naylor agreed to a one-year, $10.9 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Naylor slashed .243/.320/.456 with 31 home runs and 108 RBI with the Guardians last season -- good enough to secure a $4.3 million salary increase entering his first year in Arizona. With Christian Walker now in Houston, Naylor is expected to handle most of the workload at first base.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Ginkel - Avoids arbitration with Arizona Ginkel and the Diamondbacks agreed to a one-year, $2.425 million contract Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander will nearly double his salary in his second year of arbitration eligibility. Ginkel recorded five saves and 18 holds with a 3.21 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB over 70 innings last season, and he should continue to work as a setup man for Arizona in 2025.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Nelson - Settles with Arizona The Diamondbacks and Nelson (shoulder) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $825,000 contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Nelson had been eligible for arbitration for the first time. The left-hander missed most of the 2024 season after undergoing thoracic outlet surgery in May, and while he should have a shot to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign, it's a notoriously tricky operation to come back from.

Pavin Smith - Settles with Arizona Smith signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Smith's salary will more than double in 2025 after he slashed .270/.348/.547 with nine homers and 36 RBI over 158 plate appearances last season. With Joc Pederson now in Texas, Smith is likely to step in as Arizona's primary DH against right-handed starters, with occasional appearances at first base or in the outfield also possible.

Grae Kessinger - Shipped to Arizona The Astros traded Kessinger to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Matthew Linskey, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact The signing of Christian Walker caused Kessinger to lose his spot on Houston's 40-man roster in December, and he will now look to work his way back into the majors in the D-backs organization. The 27-year-old infielder owns just a .456 OPS through 70 career MLB plate appearances but slashed .262/.337/.388 over 67 Triple-A games last season. He'll most likely remain in the minors upon joining his new club.
