The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly open to trading starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Diamondbacks' "initial preference" was to trade either Gallen or Kelly but both players could end up experiencing a change of scenery "if the team receives strong enough offers."

The Arizona Diamondbacks fell to the Pirates in Pittsburgh despite a strong outing by Merrill Kelly, who could be dealt before the trade deadline.

“Investors were searching for something and not hearing it,” wrote Gene Munster, co-founder of DeepWater Asset Management and longtime Tesla bull, who counted himself among the disappointed. “I wanted to hear more details about how the master plan will advance in the near term.”

Kelly (9-5, 3.32 ERA) is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, as are several key Diamondbacks, including starting pitcher Zac Gallen and third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who drove in the winning run on Friday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will almost certainly trade starting pitcher Merrill Kelly, but where would he fit the best?

If the Chicago Cubs had their way, a third baseman, starting pitcher, and reliever would come their way at the trade deadline. While the perfect storm is unlikely, the Cubs should take as aggressive an approach as possible.

Last summer, with a middle-infield prospect crunch, Breslow traded infielder Nick Yorke to Pittsburgh for starter Quinn Priester, whom he then traded to Milwaukee for an outfield prospect and a draft pick after the first round, which the Red Sox used to net right-hander Marcus Phillips this year.
