We know D’Backs catcher Miguel Montero has been a popular name in recent trade talks, but ESPN’s Buster Olney says they could choose to deal the more expensive backstop:
Rival executives, by the way, perceive that the Diamondbacks will definitely listen to offers for Chris Snyder, who is highly respected by advance scouts but is marching steadily through arbitration and is becoming expensive.
Snyder, 28 in February, hit .237/.348/.452 in 404 plate appearances this year. He earned $1.85MM in ’08, and is under team control through 2010.
