Seattle Mariners’ newest player shares promotion with family<\/p>\n
Cole Young announces his move to the big leagues playing for Seattle Mariners during an emotional phone call with his family.<\/p>\n
PHOENIX \u2014 The most intriguing team at the trade deadline is the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>, who keep insisting they don\u2019t plan to be sellers \u2013 but may have no choice as the struggle around .500.<\/p>\n While power-hitting third baseman Eugenio Su\u00e1rez is the one grabbing the most attention with his 27 homers and 70 RBIs, and coveted by the Seattle Mariners<\/a> and the New York Yankees<\/a>, D-backs starter Zac Gallen (6-9, 5.45 ERA) could be the most compelling.<\/p>\n Gallen has struggled with his command this season, and hasn\u2019t pounded the strike zone as in the past, opened a lot of eyes this past week when he overpowered the San Francisco Giants<\/a>. He allowed just five hits and one run in seven innings, striking out 10 batters. It reminded everyone of his sheer talent, dominating the New York Mets<\/a> and New York Yankees<\/a> earlier this season, going 3-0 with a 0.92 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 19 \u2154 innings.<\/p>\n It may be premature to say he\u2019s completely back, but teams scouting him have been impressed, believing that the D-backs will trade him before he hits free agency this winter.<\/p>\n The irony of Gallen\u2019s success is that the better he pitches, the higher his trade value, but also the better chance that the D-backs keep him since he could get them back in the playoff race.<\/p>\n \u201cI would like to not be in that discussion,” Gallen, who has three top-10 Cy Young finishes in the last five years, tells USA TODAY Sports. \u201cI would like for us \u2013 and it starts with me \u2013 to put us in a position where the front office believes this is a team they can add to where we can finish this thing out and see what happens come October. Let\u2019s see what happens.”<\/p>\n And, obviously, the better Gallen pitches, the bigger his bank account will become when he becomes a free agent in November.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never been a person that really thinks about the eternal factors, and all of that stuff,” Gallen says, \u201ceven going to back to being drafted. It\u2019s a thing. It\u2019s there. It is what it is. You just got to go handle your business.”<\/p>\n
