Trumbo trade opens up spot for Tomas

In return, the D-backs got a four-player package: some catching and bullpen help at the big league level from Welington Castillo and Dominic Leone, along with prospects Gabriel Guerrero and Jack Reinheimer. Was that enough of a return for a former All-Star in Trumbo, a guy who hit 95 home runs over three seasons before coming to Arizona, as well as Nuno, a lefty with starter potential?

Some of that might depend on what one thinks Trumbo will bring to the table. He's always been a free-swinging, power-only kind of hitter, and that was continuing in 2015, with him finding that power stroke for seven homers in May.
