The Arizona Diamondbacks have been an active team at the MLB trade deadline, and Merrill Kelly or Zac Gallen could be the next to leave.
Arizona Diamondbacks trade predictions for Eugenio Suarez, Josh Naylor, Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen before 2025 MLB trade deadline on July 31, 2025.
Hoffmann made his MLB debut earlier this season. He recorded a 3.86 ERA in 4 2/3 innings alongside five strikeouts in three relief appearances. The Royals originally acquired him from the Atlanta Braves in a package that also included outfielder Drew Waters and infielder CJ Alexander.
As part of the deal, the Royals sent minor league reliever Andrew Hoffman to the Diamondbacks. Why this trade could be a risk is Hoffman is an arm that could turn into a decent reliever in MLB. This season, Hoffman has a 2.25 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He also has 55 strikeouts and two saves.
