According to Nick Piecoro, Torey Lovullo has announced that Shaun Larkin will be removed from third base coaching duties. He is unsure who will fill that role at this time. Larkin will remain as the #Dbacks infielder coach.
They've won three straight since deadline day haha sometimes things work out in weird ways. The youth movement has arrived
The #Dbacks win a third straight game with the young talent stealing the show. Tyler Locklear and Alek Thomas homer, Brandon Pfaadt makes a comeback start and Andrew Hoffmann makes a great 1.1 inning debut. Kyle Backhus shuts the door and kicks off a series against the Padres on a good note
Alek Thomas stay hot! He hits another home run, it's his 8th blast of the year and it's his 3rd in his last 6 games. This one comes off a left hander. #Dbacks
Andrew Hoffmann looked phenomenal in his first 1.1 innings of work with the #Dbacks. He struck out both Tatis and Machado showcasing his excellent kick change.
He was the only acquired player not ranked in Arizona's updated top 30 but in my eyes he was a snub off the list. Watch out for Hoffmann!
Tyler Locklear sends a drive over the #Dbacks bullpen for his first home run in a Diamondbacks uniform!
Pencils down. No more trades. Everything is wrapped up!
Official: the #Dbacks trade Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery to the Brewers for Cash Considerations or a Player to be Named Later.
The #Dbacks did in fact get really good value here. While it isn't a huge top 100 prospect return they flip a few months of Kelly into some really nice arms. I'll go more in depth on the pieces later as I did with Suarez' deal last night
The three prospects the #Dbacks receive are the Rangers #5 #9 and #13 prospects in return for Merrill Kelly
LHP Kohl Drake and RHP David Hagaman, and Mitch Bratt are the three pitching prospects heading to the #Dbacks for Merrill Kelly according to Ken Rosenthal and John Gambodoro
Merrill Kelly going to the Rangers for three pitching prospects according to Ken Rosenthal #Dbacks
Of course!
Merrill Kelly officially going to the Rangers. Done deal according to Jeff Passan #Dbacks
Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers are closing in on a deal for RHP Merrill Kelly according to John Gambodoro #Dbacks
Thank you!
Two months of Geno garnered a good return. This wasn't the top 100 prospect package that the team hoped for but this will help the Diamondbacks win and likely clears the potential draft compensation they would have gotten.
Cranton has incredible upside as a reliever. He's the furthest out of the majors of the three but has a clear path as an older prospect. He missed time this year (hence the low innings count and time in low minors). Electric triple digit fastball/slider mix and an exciting arm overall.
Burgos has spent time in the majors with the Mariners this year and has fared well. He was elite in Triple A and has a deep pitch arsenal. A high 90s sinker leads the way and is another great bullpen addition which will make an immediate impact
Locklear has made recent mechanical adjustments and has turned a massive corner. He should be available as soon as tomorrow for Arizona and has second round pedigree. He will fill a big hole for the #Dbacks immediately and has serious power potential
Some more on the #Dbacks return for Eugenio Suarez: 🧵
Full trade per Daniel Kramer :
Tyler Locklear (#9)
Hunter Cranton (#16)
Juan Burgos (#17)
Cranton is a reliever potentially on track for 2026, and Burgos has spent time with the Seattle Mariners in the majors this year. #Dbacks
Locklear could *if selected* join the #Dbacks on Friday as the Mariners are in Sacramento right now playing the Athletics

Today the #Dbacks square off against Andrew Heaney of the Pirates. In his career against Arizona he has a 7.71 ERA, but the sample is very limited.
In 2025 Heaney has been excellent, pitching to a 2.91 ERA in 55.2 innings. He's coming off three straight starts of 5 IP and ≤2ER
No longer writing for Diamondbacks ON SI. Wish that amazing crew nothing but the best. I have some great things coming down the pipeline. Excited to write and produce more content soon! Go #Dbacks
The BlueJays defeat the Padres in extra innings handing them a sixth straight loss! #Dbacks now only two games back of San Diego. Diamondbacks pick up a game while enjoying an off day
