Diamondbacks Acquire A.J. Puk from Marlins

The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded minor league prospects Deyvison De Los Santos and Andrew Pintar to the Miami Marlins for left-handed reliever A.J. Puk. Puk, 29, has shown significant improvement since moving to the bullpen, posting a 2.08 ERA in 30.1 innings after a rough start to the season. This deal reflects the D-backs' intent to strengthen their roster as they pursue a wild-card spot in the competitive National League. De Los Santos, the No. 6 prospect in the D-backs' system, has had an impressive season with a .325 batting average and 28 home runs across Double-A and Triple-A. Meanwhile, Pintar, ranked No. 30, has also shown promise with a .285 average in the minors. The trade highlights Arizona's commitment to fortifying their bullpen as they aim for another playoff run.
