Nationals' Luis Garcia Jr. Linked to Diamondbacks Ahead of Deadline
A national beat reporter confirmed Arizona's strong interest in Garcia, with pitching prospects expected as the return package.
Bob Nightengale reported the Diamondbacks would 'love' to acquire Nationals first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. Arizona has a clear need at first base, making the fit logical. A mock trade package centers on 2025 draft picks Patrick Forbes and Brian Curley. This remains a prediction, not a confirmed deal.
