Skaggs began his career with the Diamondbacks before returning to the Angels; the suit references his path and broader MLB context.

Diamondbacks would be willing to trade Lawlar for pitching depth and an asset like Caminiti, creating a mutually beneficial exchange. They’d aim to bolster their immediate competitive window while preserving future upside.

Lawlar is cited as a potential long-term anchor at shortstop if Kim departs, with Braves reportedly eyeing him in a trade. His ceiling as a future franchise SS makes him an attractive centerpiece for a deal that could also address Atlanta’s pitching depth needs.

Lawlar is viewed as a backbone potential for the D-backs, with infield versatility and a path to regular at-bats as the team reshapes its middle infield.

Alexander is expected to get more regular at-bats, with positional flexibility that could allow him to slot in around Bregman and Lawlar as needed.
