So if that is the case, he is blocked by Goldschmidt, and there's no way he is going anywhere. <br /><br />My guess is that the Dbacks don't think that he has much of a bat, and also don't think he can play third. If they are right, then they definitely win this trade.

After adding Trumbo and his high K rate, they may been encouraged to find the best possible deal for Davidson in order to keep Prado at third instead of right field. <br /><br />I don't think the Diamondbacks are done either. They seem to be looking at Garza and the other available FA starters. I hope they don't sign Ubaldo Jimenez. That's a move that could track them ahead of the Dodgers. I was high on him for the Giants. <br /><br />Every improvement for the DBacks makes the Giants' road a little bit tougher. <br /><br />Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483153782366187271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-65329464978026346942013-12-17T13:18:24.720-08:002013-12-17T13:18:24.720-08:00Yup, it will be a very competitive division.

Reed doesn't seem too exciting, but 40 saves for a pretty young guy isn't too shabby either. Who knows how all of these moves will play out, but I can tell you one thing: Arizona is tired of hearing about the Giants and Dodgers. They're going for it, as is Colorado.
