Archie Bradley traded from D-backs to Cincinnatti Reds

The likely final domino in a hectic trade deadline day for the D-backs has fallen, with closer Archie Bradley being dealt to the Cincinnati Reds, in exchange (per John Gambadoro) for Stuart Fairchild and Josh VanMeter. Bradley had been with the D-backs since 2015, giving them a 3.96 ERA (112 ERA+) over 249 appearances. This was his first year as the closer on Opening Day, though he had notched 18 last season, after taking over the role. There simply weren’t many save opportunities to be had this year, and he only had six, with a 4.22 ERA over 10.
