Despite blowing the save and taking the loss last night, Brad Ziegler has clearly been the best reliever for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. In fact, he probably has been the best D’backs’ reliever since coming over from the Oakland A’s almost four years ago. That trade was done to solidify the bullpen on the way to capturing the 2011 NL West title. Today, the Snakes will not be contending for the division championship and Ziegler’s guaranteed contract runs out at season’s end. There is a team option of $5.5 million dollars next season or a $1 million dollar buyout.
Will Brad Ziegler Be Dealt Before the Trade Deadline?
