D-backs Make BIG Coaching Change, Will Not Bring Back Brian Kaplan in 2027

The Arizona Diamondbacks just made a surprising change to a coaching staff that wasn't necessarily failing in 2026. The pitching improved, the bullpen became one of the team's biggest strengths, and young arms emerged, yet the D-backs have decided they will not bring back pitching coach Brian Kaplan next season. Plus, we recap the latest NLDS action and look at what’s happening around the MLB postseason. And while the big-league season is over for us, the D-backs’ future is already playing in the Arizona Fall League. We check in on the Salt River Rafters and the Arizona prospects to watch, including Demetrio Crisantes, and Joe Ariola, as they get valuable reps against some of baseball’s best young talent.
