Previewing the trade deadline for the Arizona Diamondbacks

The MLB trade deadline is just 11 days away, and Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen is positioned to buy for the first time in five years.

“We have every intention of hoping to improve this ball club, depending on what’s available,” the Diamondbacks GM told Wolf and Luke earlier this week.

We discuss what the team’s most pressing needs are and discuss several potential targets, including Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas, Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease, Kansas City Royals reliever Scott Barlow, New York Mets reliever David Robertson and Los Angeles Angels reliever Carlos Estevez.

We also preview the Diamondbacks’ upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds, including the head-to-head rookie matchup between Reds infielder Elly De La Cruz and Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll.
