For all of the questionable trades and free agent signings, this front office has hit the jackpot with a number of players. After all, criticism of Tony La Russa, the Chief Baseball Officer of the Arizona Diamondbacks and general manager Dave Stewart does not seem to stop.
The five-player trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in early February stands out perhaps as the best example. This particular deal sent Aaron Hill, Chase Anderson, minor-league infielder Isan Diaz and cash to the Brewers in exchange for pitcher Tyler Wagner and infielder Jean Segura.
For the most part, Wagner was injured and spent most of the season in the minors.
