Diamondbacks Rare Trade Chips Could Transform MLB Deadline
Diamondbacks Rare Trade Chips Could Transform MLB Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Entering Friday, the Arizona Diamondbacks found themselves in a precarious spot: 34-34, fourth in the National League West. They're seventh in the NL Wild Card race, sitting 4 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres for the final spot. Advertisement Arizona's path to the postseason took a major hit with the loss of Corbin Burnes, who's out for the season following Tommy John surgery. The pitching woes may deepen, as reliever Justin Martinez could also be facing surgery for a UCL sprain. While the standings and injuries have sparked interest from other clubs, Mark Feinsand reported that general manager Mike Hazen still hopes his team can stay in the buyer's conversation as the trade deadline approaches.

Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images© Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images 'I'm hopeful this is going to turn around and we put ourselves in the conversation to be buying,' Hazen said earlier this week. 'I hope the players put us in a conversation to be buying a month from now, a month-and-a-half from now, but we got to get going.' Advertisement Even though Hazen remains hopeful Arizona can climb back into contention, he knows what comes with their current position in the standings: plenty of inquiries about his roster. 'When you're sitting in the standings where we are, it's inevitable, you're going to start receiving phone calls about your players,' Hazen said. 'We have a lot of good players, so I'd imagine we would get a lot of phone calls. It's not something necessarily that we want to be tackling right now, but it's not stopping anybody from calling you to ask where you're at.' Hazen may not want to engage in those talks yet, but that decision could be forced on him if the team struggles.
