The Atlanta Braves are among the teams waiting to see if Detroit moves Tarik Skubal or Casey Mize, per @Buster_ESPN


“Atlanta's farm system is in better shape to put together an offer for Skubal; the 23-year-old JR Ritchie could possibly anchor a deal.”

Ok let's cut to the chase. If you are expecting the Diamondbacks to be big buyers at the deadline and go get a bat, starting pitcher and closer you will be extremely disappointed. They will absolutely rely more on the quality players coming back from injury like Justin Martinez, Michael Soroka, Jordan Lawlar and Corbin Burnes then trade deadline acquisitions. For one there is not a game-changing bat in the market. But more importantly because of a record payroll the Diamondbacks are only 6-7 million UNDER the penalty! The Diamondbacks, like the Suns not going into the second apron, will absolutely not go over the luxury tax. It would cost them somewhere around $30 million to go over and not qualify for the money the 8-9 luxury tax teams are paying with redistribution. I have mentioned possibly being a buyer and seller and that could help. But just know if you add a player whose salary is 10 million for this season ALL 10 million counts against the competitive balance tax not the portion the acquiring team would have be required to pay. So, barring a trade that would free up money I just cannot see them adding any player making over 6-7 million UNLESS they move out some other salary. The good news is they do expect to get some very key/important players back for the final 4-6 weeks of the season.

Looks like we will probably be buying this trade deadline. Who are realistic options that could help?

Standing Pat or picking up a low cost journeyman is much more likely...

We have so many players coming back, it seems like buying without spending money.
