D'BACKS DEAL FOR CARLOS VARGAS
The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired pitcher Carlos Vargas from the Cleveland Guardians for pitcher Ross Carver.
What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
In Vargas, the Diamondbacks add a versatile arm with big-league experience who should be a part of their pitching staff in 2023. He has some untapped upside.
What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
Cleveland opened up a spot on their 40-man roster with this trade, which was likely their prime motivation. Carver could be organizational starting pitching depth.
Fantasy impact
Neither Vargas nor Carver should be drafted in many league formats. That said, keep an eye on Vargas in spring training.
