The Diamondbacks lost two of three games to the Pirates in a weekend series at PNC Park as their slide out of contention continued. That followed the Diamondbacks getting swept in a three-game series by the Houston Astros in Phoenix that signaled general manager Mike Hazen was going to be a seller rather than a buyer by Thursday’s MLB trade deadline.

The Diamondbacks appear to be taking concrete steps towards an eventual Eugenio Suarez trade involving either the Tigers or Yankees.
