Diamondbacks Rumored to Target Right-Handed Hitter for DH Role

To complement Joc Pederson, the Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly interested in acquiring a right-handed bat for the designated hitter spot.

According to MLB Network’s Mark Feinsand, potential targets for the D-backs include Adam Duvall, Randal Grichuk, and Tommy Pham.

Adam Duvall, a 10-year veteran who has played with three different teams in the past three seasons, including a recent stint with the Red Sox, posted a .247 batting average and a .834 OPS in 2023. Notably, he led the league in RBIs with 113 two years ago and hit a career-high 38 home runs.

Duvall does have postseason experience as well, mainly via his time with the Braves where he played a role in their World Series victory over the Houston Astros.
