Arizona Diamondbacks are eyeing a pitching upgrade, and Seattle Mariners’ Emerson Hancock—27, 3.26 ERA, under team control until 2031, earning less than $250K—is the perfect fit. His nasty sweeper and 96 mph fastball make him a steal. But while the Mariners have shown interest in D-backs’ top prospect Ryan Waldschmidt (878 OPS this month), a trade seems unlikely. Arizona won’t part with their former 1 pick, especially with thin outfield depth, and Hancock’s value may demand more than just one player. A deal could still happen—with the right package—but Waldschmidt alone? Probably not.
