Here’s what else is going on around the National League West:
The hot stove is still firing full throttle! There’s still a chance that the Colorado Rockies can acquire starting pitcher Jose Quintana.
Arizona has acquired four minor leaguers to give their farm systems a little more depth (and hope). They’ve also agreed to terms with RHP Fernando Rodney.

Speaking of minor league action, the Giants have re-signed pitcher Matt Reynolds. He’s a left handed reliever. This is exciting news, you guys.
The Padres acquired catcher Luis Torrens via a trade with the Reds after the Rule 5 Draft.
