In early meetings with the media, some Arizona Diamondbacks players and coaches have expressed optimism for the 2021 season.
Not everyone shares the positive thinking.
In a recent story grading the offseason for each MLB team, CBS Sports handed the Diamondbacks an "F".
The writer wasn't exactly high on Arizona's chances in 2021.
Katherine Acquavella wrote: "The Diamondbacks were one of the biggest disappointments of the 2020 season. It didn't help that the first year of ace Madison Bumgarner's five-year contract did not go well. Arizona finished last year in last place in the National League West with a 25-35 record.
