Even when they were winning, that hasn’t necessarily translated into significant activity: the 2007 side, which won the NL West, were entirely passive in terms of deals. But I’ve gone through the history of the team, and pulled out all the “trade deadline pick-ups”. By which I mean, players acquired by Arizona after the start of July, for the apparent purposes of improving the team that season. Basically, if the team was at or above .500. I’ve then looked at the value the player acquired brought to the team, again, during that regular season only (not including any post-season games), and ranked them in increasing order of bWAR for the year.
