The Diamondbacks are coming off surprising, but very welcome, series wins against the Nationals and the Phillies, two of the teams in front of them in the Wild Card race. One would be forgiven for thinking that the Greinke deal signaled the unofficial end of the Dbacks’ season, but the team would seem to disagree with you on that point. Hazen is making moves to remove dead weight, albeit one to two months late, and the team is stepping up on the field against some tough opponents.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are still one of the best teams in baseball.
