We checked in just after the first “hard” trade deadline at the end of July, which say the team make a couple of very significant moves. They dealt Zack Greinke to the Astros for a slew of prospects - including Josh Rojas, who is already making an impression in the majors for us. They also acquired Zac Gallen from the Marlins, and beefed up the pitching staff with the arrival of veteran “innings eater (TM)” Mike Leake. Though the early returns on those two trades have been... kinda different. But in terms of the nebulous term which is “confidence”, would the D-backs’ universe see this as throwing the towel in, or building for the future?
