The Diamondbacks enter the unofficial second half of the season at 47-50 and are significantly behind in the NL West and Wild Card standings. General manager Mike Hazen's hopes of making trades depend on the team's performance, which has dipped to 4-8 since his comments. With a mere 10.2% chance of postseason from FanGraphs and 11.3% from Baseball Prospectus, the team must perform exceptionally well. Despite marketable players, the outlook for improvement before the trade deadline appears bleak.
General manager Mike Hazen hopes to buy at the trade deadline, but the Diamondbacks' 4-8 performance since his comments has hurt their chances to contend for the postseason.
The Diamondbacks face a challenging schedule with a three-game series against the Cardinals, followed by the Pirates, and then two first-place teams, the Tigers and Astros.
