Every year in the MLB, there is at least one team that makes a crucial move at the trade deadline to help propel their team into the playoffs.
And this year, the Arizona Diamondbacks are emerging as that team.
By swapping out Andrew Chafin for Paul Sewald in their bullpen, the Diamondbacks have suddenly surged to the top of the league in saves over the past 15 days.
Although the D-backs have won 10 of their last 12 games, bolstering themselves back into a Wild Card spot, it’s challenging to assert with certainty that they would have maintained the same record had Chafin remained in the bullpen.
