Brett (DbacksDispatch): I’m personally not too surprised, Gallen has been this teams ace the last few years and with this potentially being his final year as a Snake so it seemed like the most likely outcome. Burnes can have the opening day spot next year if Zac does find a new home for 2026 and beyond.
Spencer: No. From the beginning of Spring he was on a typical track to start on opening day. Good for him. I hope it’s a solid start. Opening Day is cool but doesn’t mean much to me. It’s a game we want to win.
