2025 Dbacks Trade Deadline Discussion

[Bobster]

Thanks for putting this together

Buying the BASEBALL AMERICA PROSPECT HANDBOOK every year pays off around the trading deadline!

 

[Dback Jon]

There may be one more trade...Miller or Beeks

Waiting on MLB approval since they are injured right now.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

So here's the haul after trading Naylor, Grichuk, Suarez and Kelly and their age and the highest level they've played at so far -

LHP Mitch Bratt [TEX], 22 - AA
RHP Juan Burgos [SEA], 25 - MLB
RHP Hunter Cranton [SEA], 24 - A+
LHP Kohl Drake [TEX], 25 - AAA
LHP Brandyn Garcia [SEA], 25 - MLB
RHP David Hagaman [TEX], 22 - A
RHP Andrew Hoffman [KCR], 25 - MLB
RHP Ashton Izzi [SEA], 21 - A+
1B Tyler Locklear [SEA], 24 - MLB

Obviously they felt they needed to load up on pitching prospects.

And nearly the entire draft was pitching. In theory they are in a spot to deal next year if they want.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

We could even get a couple of half pints for Gallen.

They will qualifying offer him and take another season where hopefully he bounces back or let him go for a draft pick.

 

[Dback Jon]

Shelby Miller to Brewers.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Shelby Miller to Brewers.

Good for him.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

14 draft picks were pitchers (12 college) and 8 from today so 22 new pitchers in the system in about a month

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Shelby Miller to Brewers.

Called that he would be traded.

I am more disappointed that Lourdes is still here over Gallen.

 

[Dback Jon]

Called that he would be traded.

I am more disappointed that Lourdes is still here over Gallen.

And apparently Jordan Montgomery is going to the Brewers as well

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Hazen wasn't gonna give him away and pay any part of that $14 million.

Looks like they dumped the rest of Montgomerys salary with Shelby

Miller pitched well so far this year - he had value to a competitive team.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Ow that's a shocker.

I bet it was a salary dump. Basically you get Miller, but have to take Montgomery, too. Dbacks probably get very little, if anything in return.

 

[Dback Jon]

Looks like nothing back for Miller and Montgomery - just salary dump

Correct - 100% salary dump

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Totally worth it - instead of an injured/ineffective Montgomery, you free up resources to get more pitching. Acquiring minor league talent through the other trades will also beef up our pretty mediocre farm system. Hazen makes sense.

Trade Gallen for some Shamrock protein drinks

Dude, that commercial. Im not saying he has to be a body builder, but..... he has noodle arms, I don't think he takes working out to serious.

This from a Texas Rangers message board, https://www.lonestarball.com/2025/7...s-rangers-trade-arizona-diamondbacks#comments

UPDATE — Pitchers Kohl Drake and David Hagaman are reportedly going to Arizona in this deal. Drake is a 24 year old lefthander who was recently promoted to AAA Round Rock, and who was expected to be added to the 40 man roster this winter. Hagaman was the Rangers’ 4th round pick out of the University of West Virginia last year, and who was one of the pitchers who was recovering from Tommy John surgery when he was selected and so has only recently resumed pitching in game action.

UPDATE II — Lefthanded pitcher Mitch Bratt is the third player going in the deal, per reports. Bratt has had a very nice season at Frisco, and like Drake, was expected to be added to the 40 man roster this winter.

That is pretty standard for MLB teams now - 37% of all pitchers have had it.

 

[Dback Jon]

Plot twist:

Seattle is hosting Texas for 4 games starting tonight.

Geno and Naylor vs Merrill Kelly this weekend.

A pint or two of Guinness Stout and a bucket of balls for Gallen. Now that he's sticking around until the end of the season, expect the suckicity to continue.
