After multiple months of ongoing trade rumors, the Diamondbacks made it clear to the baseball world on Friday that they are no longer considering a trade of Ketel Marte. What does this mean for the team's pursuit of Alex Bregman? And why did it take so long for the team to put these trade discussions to bed?

Finally, we discuss the team settling with all eight of its arbitration eligible players. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

Were the D-backs really serious about moving on from Marte trade talks? How does Ken Kendrick's evolution as owner impact the team's Bregman pursuit? And how will the D-backs go about adding to their bullpen this offseason with so few options available in free agency?
