As most Diamondbacks fans know, the team dealt Didi Gregorius in a three-team trade involving the Yankees and the Tigers in 2014. But how well did that trade work out for the Diamondbacks?
The Yanks brought on Gregorius to take some guy’s place at short after he retired. While he has not been the offensive juggernaut that Jeter was, he’s still performed well. He has hit to a .264/.310/.370 triple slash since the trade, better than both his years in Arizona. He also had career highs in home runs (9) and RBI (56) last year. But what’s most valuable is his stellar defense.
