Merrill Kelly Helps D-backs Salvage Split vs. Padres; Pavin Smith DFA'd

The Diamondbacks salvaged a series split against the San Diego Padres behind a stellar outing from Merrill Kelly and just enough from the offense, including a solo home run by Nolan Arenado.

How will we remember Smith's complicated D-backs tenure, and what's the plan at first base moving forward?

Is Reid Detmers The Perfect Trade Target for the D-backs?

The Diamondbacks made it close but ultimately dropped their series to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, losing the finale, 3-2. Eduardo Rodriguez was stellar yet again, but the offense stranded too many baserunners — and perhaps got a little unlucky in the process. We discuss our takeaways and revisit several key moments from the weekend. Looking ahead to the trade deadline, we also discuss Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers as a potential target for the Diamondbacks. What makes Detmers attractive, and what would it take to get the deal done? Finally, we discuss the D-backs' latest round of roster moves, our expectations for the upcoming Padres series and more.
