The Seattle Mariners traded prospects to the Arizona Diamondbacks for first baseman Josh Naylor. There are indications the teams may pursue another deal involving third baseman Eugenio Suárez. The Diamondbacks have ceased competing in the NL West, focusing on a rebuild. Despite their talent and close record, the decision to sell seems strategically sound, especially following the trade. The D-backs' shift in strategy reflects a departure from preseason expectations and highlights the ongoing dynamics of team rebuilding in the league.
The Mariners traded some prospects to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for first baseman Josh Naylor. The teams are working hard on another deal.
The Diamondbacks have bowed out of the NL West race, leaving just three teams from what once felt like the runaway top division in baseball.
Given the sheer talent they have on their roster, and the fact that they're still just three games below .500, it's notable that they've gone into full sell mode.
It's 'tis the season for teams to pick a direction. The D-backs picked theirs, and it sure wasn't what anyone thought when the season began.
