Gabriel Moreno Facing Extension Decisions Following Historic 2026 Season

Gabriel Moreno is coming off a historic season for the Arizona Diamondbacks, posting a 6.7 bWAR over 130 games (104 at catcher, 25 at DH). Positioned to join Joe Mauer as the only catchers to win a batting title, Gold Glove, and Silver Slugger in the same year, Moreno is projected to earn $6.1 million in arbitration. Controlled through 2028, Arizona now weighs locking him into a lucrative long-term extension versus exploring trade options.
