D-backs Insider SHUTS DOWN Kazuma Okamoto Rumors Despite Reported Meeting

The Arizona Diamondbacks were reportedly linked to a meeting with Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto, who has until the end of this week to sign with an MLB team. However, D-backs insider John Gambadoro quickly shut down the rumors, casting doubt on Arizona’s level of interest. We break down why we think the Snakes may be better off targeting Tatsuya Imai instead and what that pursuit could look like. We also discuss Alex Bregman’s growing connection to the Valley and why a move to the Diamondbacks is starting to feel inevitable. Plus, we dive into Gabriel Moreno being named the D-backs’ breakout player for 2026 and what needs to happen for that leap to occur.
