Luken Baker Among Departed First Basemen for Arizona Diamondbacks

Luken Baker was one of eight players to start at first base for the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 2026 season but is no longer with the organization. Arizona struggled heavily at the position, finishing dead-last in MLB with a dismal .233/.282/.354 line (.636 OPS). With Baker and other former starters departing, the Diamondbacks are actively exploring internal options and external free agents to rebuild their first base depth for 2027.
