The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired a major piece for their bullpen on Thursday when they landed left-hander A.J. Puk to serve as a late-inning weapon out of Manager Torey Lovullo's bullpen. Yet, GM Mike Hazen pointed out that he isn't done trying to reinforce the bullpen at the MLB Trade Deadline.
Puk is a talented reliever who will help the D-backs bullpen immensely, but that doesn't mean the team can't still improve it's bullpen. For more information on just how good Puk has been of late, especially against left-handers,The Diamondbacks have a vaunted trio of right-handed relievers at the back end of the pen with Paul Sewald, Kevin Ginkel, and Ryan Thompson.
However, Miguel Castro and Thyago Vieira have struggled, as have Scott McGough and Humberto Castellanos. While the team has shifted Slade Cecconi to the bullpen in Triple-A Reno and could move Ryne Nelson to the bullpen once Merrill Kelly and Eduardo Rodriguez are back, a talented right-handed reliever could easily be added via trade to help this team even more.
