Diamondbacks advised to target Reid Detmers ahead of trade deadline
Summary

ESPN's David Schoenfield suggests the Arizona Diamondbacks pursue Los Angeles Angels pitcher Reid Detmers in July. The Diamondbacks' starting rotation ranks 18th in ERA, and they face challenges with Corbin Burnes injured and starters Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly struggling. Detmers has a 3.88 ERA this season and is under team control through 2028, not just a rental. As the trade deadline approaches on August 3, acquiring Detmers could strengthen their pitching staff.
