The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed free-agent first baseman Luken Baker to a minor-league deal, per Just Baseball Media's Aram Leighton. Baker became a minor‑league free agent at the end of last season and decided to test the open market instead of staying within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. Since 2023, Baker has played in just 73 major-league games, posting a .655 OPS with four home runs, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored, and one stolen base across 189 plate appearances. The Diamondbacks currently have Pavin Smith set as their primary first baseman with Tim Tawa backing him up. In 2025, Smith slashed .258/.362/.434 with eight home runs and a 31.9% strikeout rate across 288 plate appearances, while Tawa posted a 72 wRC+ in 225 plate appearances. With Arizona shopping All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, it looks like the team is trying to shed payroll while rebuilding. Although it's unlikely, if Baker makes the roster, he'd serve as first-base depth for 2026. For now, you can safely leave him off your fantasy radar.--Marty Tallman
