Desert Storm On The Horizon| Arizona Diamondbacks Franchise | MLB The Show 26
In what was a bone head move by myself. I accidentally simmed the rest of my current season and neglected so auto save it til I realized I was eliminated from the playoffs. So the 2028 season finished like this.
Arizona Diamondbacks finished 95-67, 2nd in the NL West and secured the 5th seed in the playoffs.
Played the Philadelphia Philles (4th seed) in the Wildcard round and won the series 2-0.
Played the Dodgers (1st seed) in the NL Division Round and was lost the series 3-1.
The Dodgers went on to win the World Series in 6 games over the Baltimore Orioles.
I received another 3 year offer from the Diamondbacks to return as the General Manager.
The first three years, the teams record improved each year:
2026: 86-78, Postseason: Lost NLDS, Expectation: Reach Postseason (expectation met)
2027: 91-71, Postseason: Lost NLWC, Expectation: Reach Postseason (expectation met)
2028: 95-67, Postseason: Lost NLDS, Expectation: Win Division (expectation not met)
Here are the stats from key players on the roster over the last three years:
Ketel Marte, 2B
2026: 221 for 663 (.333), 42 2B, 30 BB, 38 HR, 116 RBI, 92 R, 76 SO, 1 SB (National League MVP, All-Star, Silver Slugger)
2027: 197 for 641 (.307), 34 2B, 2 3B, 20 BB, 34 HR, 114 RBI, 93 R, 76 SO, 2 SB (All-Star, Silver Slugger)

2027: 198 for 643 (.308), 46 2B, 7 3B, 16 BB, 33 HR, 101 RBI, 109 R, 105 SO, 63 SB (All-Star, All-Star MVP, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, Led NL with 63 stolen bases)

2028: 176 for 602 (.292), 34 2B, 55 BB, 13 HR, 76 RBI, 91 R, 17 SB
Pavin Smith, 1B
2026: 181 for 602 (.301), 25 2B, 21 BB, 29 HR, 87 RBI, 75 R, 101 SO
2027: 209 for 637 (.328), 35 2B, 2 3B, 19 BB, 29 HR, 96 RBI, 88 R, 83 SO (All-Star)
2028: 148 for 479 (.309), 38 2B, 3 3B, 55 BB, 11 HR, 55 RBI, 70 R, 97 SO

2028: 132 for 495 (.267), 24 2B, 2 3B, 42 BB, 9 HR, 58 RBI, 61 R, 58 SO, 3 SB
For the 2029 off season in free agency I signed Logan Webb to a 3 year/$110.5 million contract to be the ace of my rotation.
The majority of my core group is signed through the 2031 season so we are going all in and after a World Series with this group.
My bullpen is lead by A.J. Puk, the closer who has had 109 saves in 123 attempts in the last three years. Andrew Saalfrank has a record of 12-6 with 59 holds and 2 saves along with 115 strikeouts in 138.2 innings the last three years. Kade Strowd has complied a 14-7 record with 27 holds and 1 save along with 206 strikeouts in 205.2 innings the last three years including a 1.79 era last year.
Steven Kwan had a very productive year in his first year of a six year contract:
2028: 194 for 582 (.333), 37 2B, 1 3B, 42 BB, 21 HR, 97 RBI, 76 R, 83 SO, 18 SB (NL batting title)
Brandon Marsh also had a very productive year in his first year of a four year contract:
2028: 141 for 429 (.329), 31 2B, 7 3B, 37 BB, 21 HR, 80 RBI, 75 R, 99 SO, 16 SB

Accidentally simming without a backup save is the worst
