MLB Rumors: Diamondbacks Have 3 Outfielders On Trade Block

The Arizona Diamondbacks' rebuilding phase is coming along, slowly but surely. Young up-and-coming outfielders like Daulton Varsho and Alek Thomas have proven themselves as everyday major leaguers, and are likely a part of the core going forward.

But the team is still expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, and they do have some other outfield pieces they're making available.

Names like Pavin Smith, Jake McCarthy and Cooper Hummel, all of whom are 27 or younger, and have had a taste of the majors already this season. In the minors, Dominic Fletcher, Dominic Canzone, and Jorge Barrosa are showing their worth.

“We are getting a lot of calls on this group, frankly,” Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. “Other teams see they are good young players and we have a decent amount of them — and we’ve told other teams we’d be open to discussing these guys.”

Piecoro reports that "there are some rival teams that view some of Arizona's outfield depth as potential everyday players," according to Hazen.

In addition to pitching trade candidates like Zach Davies and Ian Kennedy, the D-Backs will definitely be a team to keep an eye on as we approach the Aug. 2nd deadline.
