The Diamondbacks expect to have newly acquired left-handed reliever Brandyn Garcia with the big-league club tomorrow - there will be a corresponding move likely one of the relivers among Woodford, Curtiss or Richards.
No not click bait. Ketel is not untouchable, but it would take a true haul to include him in any deal. Arizona is desperate for front line starting pitching with Burns injury and impending free agency Gallen/Kelly. And you are not getting that with any trade of an expiring guy.
This has to just be click bait right?
Tristin English will be at first base for the Diamondbacks today in Pittsburgh.
In order the expected return was going to be more for 1. Kelly 2. Geno 3. Gallen 4. Naylor So plenty of opportunities with Kelly, Geno and Gallen to continue to add prospects.
No they see him as a bullpen arm.
Do you know if they have plans to stretch Garcia to a starter long term? He pitched pretty well in the minors as a starter last year
Garcia will join the Diamondbacks. Izzi will go to High A.
Diamondbacks trade Josh Naylor to Seattle for two pitching prospects. Brandyn Garcia a 25-year old left-handed pitcher and Ashton Izzi a 21-year old right-handed pitcher. Garcia ranked #13 and Izzi #16 in the Seattle farm system.
I would expect with Merrill Kelly being a top-line starting pitcher who is consistently very good and has playoff pedigree that the Arizona Diamondbacks will bring back the best package of prospects in a trade for him. Geno second.
Good read on the Suarez trade market. arizonasports.com/mlb/arizona-di…
Yes we have not ruled out Kuminga. The Suns like him -they have had discussions with the Warriors. Belief was that it would be hard to do but they continue to look for avenues.
@Gambo987 what’s the word? 👀
There are currently 12 teams yes 12 that have inquired about Eugenio Suarez. The Reds, Yankees and Mariners among them. Arizona will target best value for any trade but obviously would like to bring back pitching.
The Reds and Diamondbacks have "mutual interest" on a deal to send Eugenio Suarez back to Cincinnati, per @ctrent Suarez was a Red from 2015-2021. Cincinnati recently DFA'd 3B Jeimer Candelario in the second year of his three year, $45M contract
If the Arizona Diamondbacks decide to trade Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly at the deadline, who will start in their place?
Jalen Green's numbers when Fred Van Vleet was out last season and he ran the point were actually decent. Green averaged 19.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 22 games without VanVleet in 2024-25. Had 8 games of 5 or more assists, had 10 assists versus Jazz and 8 against…
Adjustment here Plan will likely be Green starting at PG not Booker Gillespie as the backup With Goodwin and Butler battling for 3rd PG

Has Eugenio Suarez played his final game as a Diamondback at Chase Field?
The three-game sweep at the hands of the Astros pretty much solidifies Arizona as a seller. The team has several players on expiring contracts they could trade - Gallen, Kelly, Suarez, Naylor, Miller, Beeks, Grichuk. Have also heard there is interest from a few teams in Lourdes…
I can see Jared Butler coming in on a non-guaranteed contract and competing with Goodwin for that third spot.
So the Suns will have Booker Gillespie Goodwin/Butler IF they sign Butler with those two competing for the third spot.
