Summary
The Arizona Diamondbacks are hot on the heels of a playoff spot, and ESPN’s Jeff Passan says they’re missing one key piece: a dominant bullpen arm. Veteran pitcher Garrett Whitlock, currently with Boston and entering his final season, could be the perfect fit — averaging over 11 strikeouts per nine innings with elite control. With Boston likely to trade him due to his expiring deal and minor injury, Arizona might just snag the closer they need to push past the wild card race.
