Shocking Diamondbacks Trade Among MLB Executives' Deadline Predictions
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently polled a group of MLB executives, and it was revealed that this group believes the Arizona Diamondbacks will look to trade starting pitcher Zac Gallen this season. "Gallen is not having the free-agent walk year he wanted, going 6-9 with a 5.45 ERA over 18 starts," Bowden wrote. "But he has three top-10 finishes in the NL Cy Young Award voting in his career, including the third-most votes in 2023, and a 3.53 ERA over 160 starts. "His secondary pitches have not been as crisp this season and his average fastball is down a half mile an hour. Meanwhile, his walk and home run rates have increased while his strikeout rate has fallen. Maybe he'd benefit from a change of scenery. A trade could help him finish the season strong and boost his free agent value." ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 3: Zac Gallen #23 of the Arizona Diamondbacks prepares to throw a pitch in the fifth inning during a game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 3, 2025... ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 3: Zac Gallen #23 of the Arizona Diamondbacks prepares to throw a pitch in the fifth inning during a game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 3, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. MoreTrading Gallen makes sense for Arizona, despite the fact that he's in the middle of a career-worst season. The righty will still hold some value on the market with teams like the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs as potential suitors. The Cubs have traded a lot of prospects already this year, so they could benefit from buying low on a potential star like Gallen. Chicago still hasn't recovered from all the injuries it's suffered to the starting rotation this season. The Yankees haven't added a starting pitcher to replace Gerrit Cole yet, and it's been coming back to haunt them. New York will need to make a move or two ahead of the trade deadline, or it won't be back in the World Series. The Diamondbacks could trade Gallen now and look to re-sign him in the offseason. Worst case scenario, they can land a solid prospect haul and cut ties with the righty for good. More MLB: Dodgers One-Time Top Prospect Gaining Steam As Intriguing Trade Chip

(AP Photo/Orlando Ramirez) NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers will have three fan-elected starters in the All-Star Game for the first time in 45 years, with first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Will Smith joining designated hitter Shohei Ohtani as winners in final ballot totals announced Wednesday. Detroit will have three fan-picked starters for the first time since 2007 after second baseman Gleyber Torres along with outfielders Riley Greene and Javier Báez were voted in at their positions for the July 15 game at Atlanta's Truist Park. Advertisement Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker of the Chicago Cubs were picked for the NL outfield along with Ronald Acuña Jr. of the host Braves. Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and San Diego third baseman Manny Machado also were voted NL starters. Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh, Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson. Cleveland third baseman José Ramírez and Baltimore designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn were picked as AL starters. Wilson edged Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr. 52% to 48% and will become just the second rookie shortstop to start an All-Star Game after Baltimore's Ron Hansen, who started both games in 1960. Wilson's father, Jack, was an All-Star for Pittsburgh in 2004. Advertisement There will be nine first-time starters for the second time in three years. Wilson will be joined by Greene, O'Hearn, Raleigh and Torres in the AL lineup and Crow-Armstrong, Lindor, Smith and Tucker in the NL lineup. Báez edged the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout 26% to 24% in the closest vote, winning the third AL outfield slot. New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge earned a starting spot last week as the top vote-getter in the first round, when Ohtani was picked as NL DH with the top total in his league. Under rules that began in 2022, voting is split into two stages, and the second phase ran from Monday to Thursday. Los Angeles hadn't had this many starters since first baseman Steve Garvey, second baseman Davey Lopes, shortstop Bill Russell and center fielder Reggie Smith in 1980 at Dodger Stadium. Advertisement Detroit's three elected starters for the 2007 game at San Francisco were catcher Iván Rodríguez, left fielder Magglio Ordóñez and second baseman Plácido Polanco. Freeman is the senior All-Star, picked for the ninth time and his fifth as a starter. He will return to Atlanta, where he starred from 2010-21. Machado and Judge were both selected for the seventh time — Judge all as a starter. Guerrero, Judge, Marte, Ohtani and Ramírez were holdovers from last year's elected starters. Pitchers and reserves will be announced Sunday. ___ AP MLB:
