Though the D-backs saved about $4MM in the trade that sent Aaron Hill, Chase Anderson and Isan Diaz to the Brewers in exchange for Jean Segura and Tyler Wagner, GM Dave Stewart implied to MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert that further moves aren’t likely to be made. The D-backs “don’t have much going on” in terms of trade talks or free-agent pursuits at this point, Stewart said. Gilbert writes that the cost of adding another arm to their bullpen mix seems to be too great. That’s not to say that they don’t have the money to spend, but rather that given the asking prices around the market and the in-house options on the roster, the D-backs don’t see a deal worth pursuing. “It’s not tight. It’s either you want the player or you don’t,” Stewart told Gilbert. Gilbert writes that Brad Ziegler, Daniel Hudson, Andrew Chafin and Randall Delgado all profile to land bullpen jobs, and Stewart listed a wide number of internal options that intrigue him, including Silvino Bracho, Enrique Burgos, Jake Barrett, Cody Hall, Dominic Leone, Evan Marshall, Sam LeCure and Wesley Wright. Certainly, there’s reason to believe that the names listed could yield three bullpen pieces for the Snakes, and there are always names that pop up unexpectedly during Spring Training either on the waiver wire or in free agency. - See more at: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/d-backs-not-active-in-trade-talks-free-agent-pursuits.html
