Ah, remember those heady preseason days where we were excited and optimistic about our starting rotation? USA Today ranked the Diamondbacks as the fourth-best in the majors there, and so did The Athletic. Considering they came in 27th by ERA last year (4.79), that was quite the turnaround. We shocked the baseball world with the signing of Corbin Burnes, had the prospect of healthy campaigns from Merrill Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez, and Brandon Pfaadt was a hot pick to have a breakout season. The Jordan Montgomery question then resolved itself, albeit in an unfortunate way.
