The Arizona Diamondbacks, currently at a 41-41 record and 2.5 games out of Wild Card contention, may consider trading starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Rodriguez is having a breakout season with a 2.27 ERA and has been discussed as a potential trade candidate due to his high value and contract control through 2027. Selling could provide the team with prospects and salary relief, which would be beneficial for their long-term strategy, despite the team's desire to remain competitive this season.
