Arizona’s first trade deadline move: they’ve acquired outfielder Lars Nootbaar from St. Louis, aiming to bolster their middle of the order with a left-handed bat. Though his 2024 stats look shaky — .234 BA, 3 HR in 48 games — his injury-riddled season (mostly foot issues) explains the dip. His career OPS? .742, and he’s typically a double-digit home run threat when healthy. The D-backs’ outfield is crowded, with Kepler suspended, several key players on the IL, and young center fielder Waldschmidt still developing. Nootbaar’s track record suggests he could be a solid upgrade as Arizona pushes for the playoffs.
