Morning Briefing: Diamondbacks Re-Sign Zac Gallen

Good morning, Mets fans!

One of the last few notable starting pitcher free agents came off the board on Friday, with Zac Gallen re-signing with the Diamondbacks. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the deal is for one-year, $22.025 million, the same value of the qualifying offer Gallen initially rejected. Gallen struggled to a 4.83 ERA in 2025, but he’s been the ace of the Arizona rotation for several years now, finishing in the top 10 of NL Cy Young balloting three times.
