For the second straight season, the MLB trade market has been extremely slow to develop. It’s certainly partly due to the extra playoff spot that has allowed a larger swath of the league to hold onto hope of making it to the playoffs and then following in the D-Backs footsteps. This is also a period where pundits and baseball writers aplenty attempt to arbitrarily group teams into buyers and sellers, which might make for better material, but doesn’t always reflect the full reality of a team’s possibilities. With that in mind, I wanted to take a swing (pun intended) at a strategy that does both for three impending free agents for the D-Backs - or, more accurately, two unrestricted free agents and one mutual option.
