Diamondbacks deploy bevy of scouts ahead of multiple trade-deadline scenarios
ARLINGTON, Texas – For most of the year, a team’s pro scouting staff is laying groundwork, evaluating players for moves that might happen months or years later – if they ever happen at all.

The trade deadline can be different. And, with the way things are trending, it might be especially different for the Diamondbacks, a team that is preparing to buy, sell or do a combination of both in the days leading up to July 31.

“First and foremost, it’s exciting,” Diamondbacks Assistant General Manager Jared Porter said. “It gives our scouts an opportunity to really impact the future of the organization, either short-term or long-term. And it could be both, of course.”

ESPN: Diamondbacks scouting Orioles reliever Mychal Givens
Eddie Matz wrote: "On Tuesday, the Phillies, Braves, Diamondbacks and Padres all had representatives at Camden Yards, where Orioles reliever Mychal Givens seems to be drawing his fair share of interest. 'His velocity's ticking up,' says one scout. 'He's pitching like he wants to get out of there.'"
