Giants weigh in on D-backs picking up Trumbo
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Arizona Diamondbacks' acquisition Tuesday of slugger Mark Trumbo from the Los Angeles Angels appeared to make the National League West even more competitive.
"Arizona got a good player, a power bat, something it needs," manager Bruce Bochy said. "They certainly improved their club with the power they got."
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Giants inquired about Trumbo on multiple occasions but couldn't find a fit with the Angels, who wanted young yet polished prospects.
