## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks have put themselves in position to make a postseason run, but now comes the hard part. With the trade deadline fast approaching, Mike Hazen HAS TO go all-in as a buyer. We break down why the D-backs can't afford to stand pat and why first base might be the toughest hole to fill with so few impact options available on the market. We also discuss potential trade targets that could help Arizona strengthen its roster for October as the deadline approaches. Plus, we preview a pivotal series against the Washington Nationals, take a look at what Arizona needs to do to keep its momentum rolling, bring back Throwback Thursday with a trip down D-backs memory lane, and head down to the farm for another edition of Snake Farm, where we check in on the organization's hottest prospects.
