Diamondbacks eye trades for pitcher Casey Mize or infielder Luis Garcia

The Arizona Diamondbacks are actively seeking trades as the MLB deadline approaches, targeting either Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize or Washington Nationals first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. The team has gained momentum, winning 13 of its last 18 games and currently holds the No. 2 wild-card spot. Upgrading their rotation and first base remains a priority, with Garcia's solid performance, including 23 home runs this season, making him a favorable option. Mize, boasting a 2.70 ERA, would also be a significant addition to Arizona's rotation. The club aims to finalize a trade by the August 3 deadline, hoping to bolster their postseason chances.
