They could probably give us Ohtani for free and still have better World Series odds.

 

I would still accept, though.

Any chance the Dbacks would trade high on Nolan Arenado? They have Lawlar (on rehab) and LuJames Grover as long term options who are ready. They also could use an OF or DH, since they are in contention and would want mlb players. What about one of Bauers, Vaughn, Mitchell, or Frelick for Arenado. With Lara soon to claim CF that will put a stranglehold on playtime for more than 1 of those 4. 

Arenado as a vet would give our young guys some time, fix 3B, and we wouldnt have to pay him alot.

We haven't discussed Isaac Paredes, Brett Baty, or Alec Bohm (playing better in May) in a while.

DBacks are off to a great start this year with pitching reinforcements coming soon (Burnes being one). Unless if they crater over the next month+ I don't see them trading Arenado who's having a really solid season down there.  

Paredes would undoubtedly be an upgrade over Rengifo, but I think he's also got another year or two before FA, right? So, I don't know if we'd want to overpay for a guy like that who's going to then block some of our 3B prospects (Jett, Made, Fischer, etc.)?  

Baty has looked pretty awful so far this year (yet still performing WAY better than Rengifo), and with multiple years left of control - I'd worry that we'd again have to overpay for him and then he might block some of our prospects coming up?  

Bohm - another guy not having a good year and he's actually closer to Rengifo's production thus far than any of these other guys.  

In summary - I just don't know if any of these guys make a ton of sense for us?  We do need to upgrade 3B position though....and I'm just not sure what the best way we're going to be able to do that at the deadline this year?

Ummm.  How about Andrew Fischer?

Well, he's in A+ right now. I suppose when he gets promoted to AA (sometime this month) if he lights the world on fire there he'd be a candidate for postseason. But not the near future.

Fischer is on a power binge, but striking out over 33% of the time in A+ ball.

My guess is the Ks are the only thing keeping him from a AA bump. 

I really thought there was no chance that Fischer, Dinges, Pena, Adamczewski, and Payne would ALL still be in Appleton in June.  Thought for certain that 2-3 of them would already be in AA by Mid May.
