D’backs Shopping Aaron Hill, Barely Listening On Martin Prado

By Jeff Todd | July 24, 2014 at 6:51pm CDT

While the Diamondbacks are interested in moving second baseman Aaron Hill, they have indicated a lack of motivation in dealing jack-of-all-trades Martin Prado, reports CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman. According to Heyman, the club is “barely listening” to inquiries on the latter.

Both players are owed approximately the same amount in future guarantees: $28MM for Hill and $26MM for Prado, both through 2016. And both have scuffled at the plate, with Hill slashing .251/.285/.381 and Prado checking in with a .274/.319/.369 line. But the club appears to view Prado, who is two years younger and a more flexible option in the field, as a part of the team’s core moving forward.

    Milone for Hill straight up makes too much sense.

      Hill may be flat done. He’s been really bad this year. There are better options out there and Milone is worth something.

        Hill has heated up considerably and would be an upgrade over the Sogard/Callaspo/Punto trio. I think he could contribute down the stretch.

          At that price though? I think he might be the highest paid player on the A’s!

              Milone-NO Just a terrible contract unless the d-backs slide in a bunch of money.

      As a Dbacks fan, I would be thrilled to get Millone back. I’d even be ok paying over half of Hill’s salary.

        I’m pretty sure Milone is a fly ball pitcher. Fastball around 87-88. That might play alright in that big ball park in Oakland but it could back fire big time in AZ.
        Never mind the fact that I don’t want KT trading with the A’s at all.

      Prado plays third is why I think they prefer to keep him over Hill.

        It doesn’t really explain why they’ve bent over backwards for Prado though.

      I’m not sure he’s in charge anymore, and Prado seems like the kind of ballplayer LaRussa values in a clubhouse. I could be entirely wrong though.

      No good reason? Just look at how much Prado’s grit has helped the clubhouse and the standings! You can’t measure that kind of impact.

    Norris or Sanchez from Toronto on a Hill trade is what I would like to see.

      Yeah Norris or Sanchez for Hill, Goldschmidt, Corbin, Tony La Russa, free access go the pool during the off season, property in Arizona, and unlimited supply of lemon flavored Arizona Iced Tea.

    Should be trying to trade both of them. At least Prado probably has some value right now, Hill barely has any.

      Toss in Goldschmidt, Corbin, and they’ll even take on Cahill no extra charge. Oh and you pay for Hills contract.

    Prado has more trade value than Hill. Why doesn’t KT understand this?

      KT will hold onto Prado until he’s two years older and has Hill’s current value. It’s what he does–overvalues mediocrity, and is too quick to let go of potential.

      Especially when he said he wants to get good players back instead of dumping salary. With Prado we might actually get a decent return!

      Both of them seem to be trending downward, don’t wait until his value goes down to what Hill has become.

      Goldschmidt should definitely be made available. This team isn’t going to compete for a few years now that Towers has nerfed the MLB roster while simultaneously managing to deplete the farm system, and the price of Goldschmidt in FA is going to be astronomical (or if it isn’t for whatever reason, then a trade would benefit them). The only reason I wouldn’t want them to field offers on him is because they can’t seem to figure out how to get anything decent in return.

    What does barely listening look like? Do they have their fingers in their ears while yelling “I can’t hear you?”
