Arizona has started 9-4 in June. The team is winning close and late. (Josh Naylor hit a walk-off grand slam against Seattle and added another game-winning RBI against San Diego.) They’re winning games when they score. (The Diamondbacks have two 10-run games in June. Both victories.)

Bo Bichette and Addison Barger delivered back-to-back HRs to lift the Toronto Blue Jays past the Diamondbacks in dramatic fashion.
The Diamondbacks made a move to shore up their organizational pitching depth, signing right-hander Anthony DeSclafani to a major league contract and fitting him on the roster by optioning right-hander Bryce Jarvis to Triple-A Reno.
Jim Bowden of The Athletic wrote six trade proposals for the MLB and one of them included a big name on Arizona's roster. If the Diamondbacks chose to move on from Naylor, it could set them up for the future.
The Chicago Cubs will be aggressive on the trade market, and Zac Gallen's availability could have them talk to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
