On July 31st, 2019, the Diamondbacks acquired Zac Gallen from the Marlins for shortstop Jazz Chisholm. Or as I saw it, the Diamondbacks traded away future superstar infielder, and player I befriended through an unpublished interview, Jazz Chisholm, for some guy who had already been traded once, Zac Gallen. Obviously, at the time I was a bit biased, as it was a good trade then, and it’s looking like an even better trade now for the Diamondbacks.
While Jazz has continued to struggle with batting average and strikeouts, Zac Gallen is blossoming into a potential ace for the Diamondbacks, and the numbers are trending in the right direction.
