The Diamondbacks really have a thing for Zac(k) G’s. After starting the year with two of them - Zack Godley and Zack Greinke - the team decided to pick up young right-hander Zac Gallen from the Miami Marlins in exchange for the risky-but-toolsy Jazz Chisholm. Following this acquisition, the Dbacks apparently had found “their guy” and promptly traded Zack Greinke to the Houston Astros and DFA’d Zack Godley. Suddenly, the Diamondbacks are down to one Zac(k) G: Zac Gallen.
This trade came as quite a surprise to many Dbacks fans - this author included - but it appears that the Diamondbacks have stumbled upon a possibly really good starting pitcher.
