The Diamondbacks' manager spoke of the trade deadline moves to bring in Josh Bell and Dylan Floro and the circumstances of Walker's injury.
Early this morning, Arizona Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen called Torey Lovullo to run through possible scenarios that might happen as a result of Christian Walker's oblique injury.
"It's an unbelievable pickup. Mike identified there was a need... he got a guy that is going to be able to step right in here. More power to Mike and the vetting process too, as this is a good teammate as well. We want guys like that to come in here and fit like a glove." When first told of the trade Lovullo said his first reaction was "that word that begins with an F and ends with a K. It wasn't very pleasing to me because I feel like I'm responsible for it. That was my conversation with Walk today."
The other trade that happened today was acquiring Dylan Floro from the visiting Washington Nationals in exchange for minor league corner infielder Andrew Chaparro.
