In the first of an irregular series, as the need arises and the trade deadline approaches, we round-up the rumors regarding trades involving the Arizona Diamondbacks. Many of these may have cropped up in Snake Bytes, but I figure having them in a central location is not a bad thing.
Team situation
Status: SELL. Things have tended downhill since the team arrived in New York occupying second-place, having finally scaled Mt. .500 by sweeping the Rangers. In eight games since, Arizona has managed just one victory, sliding six games back below even. They are seven games back of the Cubs and Nationals who are currently tied for the first and second wild-card spots; perhaps more significantly, the Giants, Mets and Braves all stand between the Diamondbacks and the current pace-setters, and are virtually tied with the Padres.
