Diamondbacks target Yankees' Luis Garcia Jr. in trade talks

The Arizona Diamondbacks aimed to enhance their offense by pursuing first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. before the 2026 trade deadline. Following a season with below-average production from their first basemen, the Diamondbacks had a notable need in this position after veteran Carlos Santana was sidelined due to injury. Garcia, recently acquired by the New York Yankees from the Washington Nationals, has shown promise but struggled with a.593 OPS in September. There remains a possibility the Diamondbacks could revisit acquiring Garcia, should the Yankees look to trade him due to roster shifts.
