The report came late yesterday evening that the Arizona Diamondbacks have expressed interest in a few outfielders as they look to improve on their 85 win campaign of a year ago. Most notably for our purposes, Arizona is interested in Mariners RF Mitch Haniger.
Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reported that Arizona was looking to upgrade their corner outfield spot and added this:
Two outfielders who would fit that description are the Mariners’ Mitch Haniger and the Rangers’ Nomar Mazara. Both have been mentioned on the trade market at various points over the past year, and the Diamondbacks are said to have interest in both.
