Merrill Kelly - D-backs pick up option The Diamondbacks exercised Kelly's $7 million club option for 2025 on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact After missing a four-month chunk of the season due to a shoulder injury, Kelly finished 2024 with a 4.03 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 73.2 innings over 13 starts. Hopeful for a bounce-back campaign in 2025, the D-backs will keep the 36-year-old righty around to bolster a pitching staff that ranked 27th in the majors with a 4.62 ERA.

Eugenio Suárez - D-backs exercise option The Diamondbacks exercised Suarez's $15 million club option for 2025 on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Suarez reached the 30-HR and 100-RBI benchmarks while slashing .256/.319/.469 in his first season with the Diamondbacks. Now that he's officially locked in for the 2025 campaign, he'll almost certainly retain his everyday role at third base.

Jordan Montgomery - Returning to AZ Montgomery exercised his player option worth $22.5 million for the 2025 season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Montgomery signed a deal with the Diamondbacks in March and didn't make his first start until April 19. He never seemed to get on track, however, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with just an 83:44 K:BB across 117 innings. Given his struggles, it's little surprise Montgomery exercised his option, and he'll look to rebuild his value in 2025 heading into free agency.
