The Miami Marlins have not had a season that they expected and today they traded a bullpen arm away to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks who are the defending National League Champions haven’t exactly had the season they expected to have but are still in the race for the National League Wild Card so they have decided to add and today they did so by bringing in LHP A.J. Puk in exchange for 1B/3B Deyvison De Los Santos and outfielder Andrew Pintar.
