In return for Grichuk, the Royals are sending the Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Andrew Hoffmann. The 33-year-Grichuk has homered seven times while hitting .243 with a .742 OPS. He’ll be in the lineup against left-handers for sure, but the Royals’ struggling offense could make Grichuk an everyday player for the final two months.

The Diamondbacks are not locked into the “seller” role, but unless something changes in the next few weeks, it would be smart of them to consider offers for players who are not likely to be part of their future. Grichuk seems to be the most likely to be dealt since he’s playing on a one-year contract with a mutual option for next season. Gurriel has $13 million guaranteed for 2026, which could make it harder for the Diamondbacks to find a trade partner for him, and they may be less inclined to trade Thomas, who used to be one of the top prospects in baseball and is under team control for a few more years.
