The news yesterday that Rhys Hoskins had signed with the Brewers, crossed one more name off the list of potential DH types for the Diamondbacks. While the two largest names are still on the market, in Jorge Soler and J.D. Martinez, a report from ESPN’s Buster Olney today indicates the team may be looking at a lower-priced choice.
The Diamondbacks have been talking with free agent outfielder Joc Pederson. They've been looking for a DH type.

This was backed up not long ago by Nick Piecoro of the Republic, who just posted a story, citing a source who said the Diamondbacks were “very close” to a contract agreement with Pederson.
