The Arizona Diamondbacks cannot start making trades or signing players until after the World Series concludes, but they have a list of valuable players without guarantees for 2025.
Free agency does not start until five days after the World Series, a period within which clubs can negotiate with their own free agents. Qualifying offers — one-year contracts worth the mean salary of MLB’s 125 highest-paid players — can be made during this five-day window. Trading players on MLB contracts can resume after the Fall Classic ends.
The D-backs missed the postseason with an 89-73 record, their best since 2017. Four veteran players are unrestricted free agents with several more facing options as the club aims to bolsters its core to make a push toward October 2025.
