The Diamondbacks are currently fourth in the NL West with a record of 43-42, having won two consecutive games. General manager Mike Hazen emphasized the team's need to be in a position to buy at the trade deadline. Over the next two weeks, the team will compete against several key Wild Card rivals, including the Giants and Royals, which will significantly impact their deadline strategy. As of now, they are 2.5 games behind the Cardinals and Padres for the final Wild Card spot.
I want this team to put us in a position to buy. I want this team to put us in a position to be right beneath where we need to be.
The upcoming two weeks are likely to be the biggest factor. They will take on three of the four teams directly ahead of them in the Wild Card race.
They'll host the Royals this weekend before kicking off a crucial four-game set in San Diego. They'll play the Angels in their final series before the All-Star Break.
Arizona is currently climbing back above .500 at 43-42. They have won two in a row as they aim for playoff positioning.
