"The deal, which is pending a physical, is worth $22.05 million, the same value as the qualifying offer Gallen rejected earlier this offseason, according to a source. The second half of a one-for-one prospect swap alongside Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the summer of 2019, Gallen jumped from the Miami Marlins to the Arizona Diamondbacks and became one of the most successful pitchers in franchise history, ultimately ranking behind only Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb with 65 wins."
"Gallen went 12-4 with a 2.51 ERA in 31 starts for the D-backs in 2022 and finished fifth in National League Cy Young Award voting, then went 17-9 with a 3.47 ERA in 210 innings in 2023 and finished third. Since then, though, his production fell off. Gallen, 30, missed about a month with a hamstring strain in 2024 but still managed to go 14-6 with a 3.65 ERA."
Zac Gallen agreed to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks worth $22.05 million, pending a physical. The deal matches the qualifying offer he rejected earlier in the offseason. Gallen arrived in Arizona in a 2019 trade from the Miami Marlins and ranks behind only Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb with 65 franchise wins. He posted strong seasons in 2022 (12-4, 2.51 ERA) and 2023 (17-9, 3.47 ERA) before production declined. Gallen missed time in 2024 with a hamstring strain and saw his 2025 ERA rise to a career-high 4.83 with a career-low 21.5% strikeout rate. Arizona will receive a compensatory pick after the first round.
