Arizona Diamondbacks finish trip in Washington, head home to meet AL heavyweight

The Arizona Diamondbacks finish their East Coast road trip with a Sunday, April 6, game at the Washington Nationals before a quick turnaround to host the Baltimore Orioles beginning April 7 at Chase Field.
Zac Gallen, who pitched four rather forgettable innings at Chase on Opening Day but rebounded in a big way at Yankee Stadium, is the scheduled starter for Arizona.
Gallen staggered the Yankees through 6 2/3 shutout innings, striking out 13.
Baltimore finished 2024 with 91 victories, second in the American League East to the Yankees, before falling to the Kansas City Royals in the wild-card round.
The Orioles are set to send out Zach Eflin (1-1), who looked strong in his first start, a 12-2 victory in Toronto (six innings, two hits, two runs). Eflin followed that with a loss in Baltimore on April 2 against Boston, 3-0 (six innings, eight hits, three runs).
Merrill Kelly, who was roughed up in his most recent start (nine hits, nine runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Yankees), is the scheduled starter for the matchup on April 8.
The last game of the three-game set is scheduled for a 12:40 p.m. first pitch.
Arizona finally enjoys a day off, its first of the month, before 2024 NL Manager of the Year Pat Murphy — formerly the ASU baseball coach — and the Milwaukee Brewers visit for a three-game, weekend series.
Milwaukee won 93 games during the regular season, taking the NL Central by 10 games, before being upset by the New York Mets in the wild-card round.

Commanders linked to signing two-time Super Bowl champ in free agency

The Washington Commanders have their rookie class in place after the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, the team could still use another pass rusher, and ESPN insider John Keim believes that former Buffalo Bills star Von Miller could fit in Washington.

“None of Washington’s current edge rushers recorded more than 5.5 sacks last season after the Commanders let Dante Fowler Jr., and his 10.5 sacks, exit in free agency. But they didn’t draft an edge rusher. Washington likes its depth at the position and beefed up its front to handle the run — a bigger issue than the pass rush in 2024 — but the Commanders also were interested in DeMarcus Lawrence and Joey Bosa in free agency. So, they could still seek more help, with veterans such as Za’Darius Smith and Von Miller, among others, still available,” Keim wrote.
The Commanders will have a chance to sign a pass rusher or two in free agency as the offseason continues along.

Washington Commanders announcing deal for new stadium on RFK site Monday

The Washington Commanders will build a new stadium in Washington, D.C., returning the team to its namesake city, sources familiar with the plan tell News4.
The plan to be announced Monday between District and team leadership will see the construction of a state-of-the-art arena on the former RFK stadium site along the banks of the Anacostia River.
Details of the deal are expected to be outlined by Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Commanders’ owners at a news conference Monday morning.
Who’s paying for the new Commanders stadium, and how much will it cost?
News4 reported on the impending deal earlier this month. Documents obtained by News4 showed that the Commanders would put up as much as $2.5 billion, and the District would provide up to $850 million.
D.C.’s funding would go toward what are referred to as eligible capital costs associated with the stadium and infrastructure for the stadium and surrounding 180-acre campus, including parking structures that will serve the entire development.
The District’s investment would be paid in installments, with the first $500 million paid out between 2026 and 2030 for various portions of the work, as the stadium and infrastructure are completed. The other $350 million would be paid in 2032 through taxes generated from the new development to cover costs of the stadium or stadium infrastructure.

The final contribution by the team could be less than $2.5 billion, sources familiar with the negotiations told News4.
When would a new Commanders stadium be finished?
The deal calls for the stadium and parking to be completed by fall 2030. Commanders owner Josh Harris has been clear he wants a new stadium to be ready for the 2030 season.
Long before the move to Maryland, the team played at the now-demolished Griffith Stadium in Northwest D.C. It then called RFK Stadium home from 1961 to 1996. Harris and several co-owners grew up as Washington football fans during that era, which included three Super Bowl championships from 1982 to 1991.
The Commanders’ lease at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, runs through 2027.
The Commanders were looking for a new stadium for years, considering locations in D.C., Virginia and Maryland.
A potential return to D.C. has included efforts by Harris and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to lobby lawmakers to pass legislation transferring the land from the federal government to D.C. It made it through Congress at the eleventh hour, and former President Joe Biden signed it in early January.
News4 will have live coverage of the announcement Monday.
