MLB Trade News: Arizona Diamondbacks Set To Pull Off Trade
The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to make some move, particularly in the shortstop position, as Didi Gregorious and Chris Owings continue to battle for the starting spot in the roster.
D-Backs general manager Kevin Towers admitted that they are going to pull off a trade before the start of the season, and it would likely involve either Owings or Gregorious.
"It's been pretty quiet of late," Towers said of the trade market via Real GM. "With Stephen Drew still out there right now, I haven't had much trade discussions."
Towers said they are probably going to address their weakness behind the plate, which has been an issue for them for the past few seasons.
"For us, it would have to be the right deal," Towers said. "Our biggest needs in our system are catching. If it's the right, top-notch catching prospect. Someone we could have right behind Miggy. More of an upper-level guy. Maybe a top, upper-end starter. We have a lot of bullpen depth, infielders. Maybe an outfielder, but probably more catching and Double-A, Triple-A type starter."
