The Arizona Diamondbacks have been involved in an expansion draft before, of course. On November 18, 1997, in the Phoenix Civic Center, they and the (then) Tampa Bay Devil Rays were the recipients of the players, in a 35-round event. Among the players selected by the D-backs that day, were key components of our subsequent World Series run, including Brian Anderson, David Dellucci and Damian Miller. But if MLB were to expand further now - most likely, adding two teams and going to a 4x4 division structure in each league - the Diamondbacks would form part of the talent pool.
Who would the Arizona Diamondbacks protect in an expansion draft?
