The Arizona Diamondbacks have tendered contracts to 29 players. The only non-tender was left-hand reliever Brandon Hughes.

Hughes was brought in during spring training last year, and made several appearances for the team in 2024. While he pitched well for Triple-A Reno, he was not successful in the majors, posting an 8.15 ERA in 17.1 innings. Hughes will become a free agent.
