As well as the (not entirely unexpected) gossip surrounding the Diamondbacks' quest for starting pitching, might a trade of veteran second-basemen be in the works?
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, quoting the ubiquitous major-league sources, "The Reds' trade discussions about [Brandon] Phillips include a proposal in which he would go to the Diamondbacks for second baseman Aaron Hill." He does immediately acknowledge that there are a number of potential issues with such a deal, not least that Phillips would have the full right of veto over such a deal, being a ten-year player who has played five with the same team.
