00:01The Arizona Diamondbacks are in the thick of the 2026 playoff race,
00:05sitting at 59-53 and clinging to a wildcard spot in the National League.
00:09Despite a strong run, the team's trade deadline was defined by frustration.
00:13General manager Mike Hazen was visibly upset after the deadline passed.
00:17He admitted the D-backs were very close to acquiring multiple pitchers,
00:20but deals fell apart as the day went on.
00:22The only move they made was acquiring outfielder Lars Newtbar from the Cardinals.
00:26Offensively, Corbin Carroll is the engine of the team.
00:29He is batting .282 with a .909 OPS and recently set the franchise record for triples.
00:34The offense has been inconsistent, but Carroll has been a star.
00:37Pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries.
00:39Corbin Burns, Ryan Nelson, and Justin Martinez are all on the injured list.
00:43The D-backs will need these arms to return if they want to make the playoffs.
