The Diamondbacks are a revenue-sharing recipient, which affects their compensation for a player rejecting a QO and signing elsewhere. If the player ultimately signs for $50MM or more, the Snakes would get an extra draft pick just after the first round. Less than $50MM and the pick would come just ahead of the third round.

The Diamondbacks have shown they would also not like to put Gallen in the discussion. Arizona has been reluctant to make any trades, as the team has hoped it would still remain viable for a playoff berth before the end of July. It looks more unlikely that Arizona will have a chance this season to play in the postseason.

If the Chicago Cubs had their way, a third baseman, starting pitcher, and reliever would come their way at the trade deadline. While the perfect storm is unlikely, the Cubs should take as aggressive an approach as possible.
