With asking prices they deemed too high to add to the rotation prior to Tuesday’s non-waiver trade deadline, the Diamondbacks did what they felt was the next best thing: They added to the bullpen, acquiring a pair of pitchers they hope will lighten the load on the club’s back-end relievers and help shorten the game for the starting staff.
In a mid-morning deal with the Miami Marlins, the Diamondbacks reunited with right-hander Brad Ziegler, a sidearming, ground-ball specialist who spent parts of six seasons with the organization earlier in his career.
