The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly acquiring closer Paul Sewald in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.

The Diamondbacks are sending infielder Josh Rojas, outfielder/first baseman Dominic Canzone and infielder Ryan Bliss to the Mariners in exchange for Paul Sewald, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The trade bolsters the Diamondbacks' bullpen as the team makes a push to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

The Diamondbacks got of to a scorching-hot start in 2023, but have leveled off. They are currently 56-50, in third place in the National League West, and are one game out of a wild card spot in the National League. The Philadelphia Phillies are half of a game ahead of them, while the Miami Marlins and the Milwaukee Brewers are one game ahead and take up the last two wild card spots.

The Mariners are 4.5 games out of a wild card spot in the American League, and it seems they have decided to sell at this deadline. Josh Rojas is an experienced major league player, while Dominic Canzone and Ryan Bliss are prospects that the Mariners hope can help them in the future.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the Diamondbacks are able to make the playoffs this season, and if they will add any more help by Tuesday's deadline. For the Mariners, they still have an outside chance at the playoffs, but it will be interesting to monitor the progress that their new prospects make in a new organization.
