TheBucshave selected some players with high draft capital in recent years who did not work out the way they had hoped. From Joe-Tryon Shoyinka to Vernon Hargreaves, they have come and gone despite the hopes their selection brought to the franchise.Now, one of those top draft picks is heading to a new home. Former top pick Devin White signed with the Detroit Lions over the weekend. He will join a hungry Lions' defense with a chip on their shoulder, similar to White coming off one of the best years of his career.

He also added 11 tackles for a loss, showing he can still cover a lot of range for his size. His Achilles heel has been his ability to provide pass coverage, so he was able to rack up a lot of that production with a limited role on their defense.

Phillies executive remains confident in Trea Turner's defensive skills originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.While Trea Turner has been reliable from the batter's box, slashing .250/.299/.404 with 16 home runs, the same can't be said for his work on the defensive side of the field. It's an area that sees the Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop put up some rather lackluster performances, recording the second-highest errors in the league (18) for players at any position, while ranking in the bottom ten for putouts by a shortstop (83).These numbers are one thing, but it's worth noting that they are the makeup of one of the more critical sides to Turner's defensive statistics; he has the lowest fielding percentage among shortstops in the league, .954, which ranks fourth among all players at the time of writing. Some of the more advanced metrics would indicate that Turner has been more than costly in the field, having a defensive runs saved of -14, meaning he's been quite the detriment to his team throughout the season.All of this is to say that the three-time All-Star has been struggling throughout the campaign, but it's worth highlighting that he has the full support of the Phillies' President of Baseball Operations, Dave Dombrowski.Dombrowski defends Turner's defensive abilitiesPhillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski explains why hes confident Trea Turner can come through at shortstop in big games and moments.@SportsRadioWIP@KYWNewsradiohttps://t.co/vpBe5C6vc4pic.twitter.com/Xr4BU3H4QQ Dave Uram (@MrUram) August 3, 2026Prior to Monday night's series opener against the Washington Nationals, Dombrowski spoke to the press about Turner's defensive development and apparent slump, something he isn't all that concerned about at the moment."Well, he's done it before, and he works hard at it. I've seen fielders go through struggling times just like hitters do, and pitchers do," stated Dombrowski. "So he's a proven big league player, and I think he'll do fine."To the Phillies' executive's point, Turner has a fairly solid defensive record over the course of his 12-year career, posting a near-career high in defensive percentage last season with a .970, while recording only eight errors throughout his 139 games in 2025. It'd also be worth noting that even in the playoffs, Turner has always managed to hold down the fort at shortstop, with his only defensive mishaps in the Red Pinstripes coming during his first postseason in Philadelphia, where he recorded four errors. Other than that, Turner has been solid.For now, Turner will have the second half of the season to show off the strides that Dombrowski feels he's been working hard at, and with the Phillies in the middle of a playoff push, it'll be more important than ever.More MLB news:Cardinals sign JJ Wetherholt to eight-year, $112.5 million contract extensionWhy Astros are trading Lance McCullers to the BrewersMason Miller shares honest thoughts on Yankees trade rumorsRed Sox trade rumor involving All-Star shortstop includes Yankees, BravesBlue Jays could do something crazy and trade for Bo Bichette

Deadline Madness for AllWell Mostly all.The trade deadline is one of the most hectic days of the entire regular season for all ball clubs, whether you are a fan of a team that is already looking ahead to the next season for how they can improve or a team that is in the middle of a playoff race and hoping to see October baseball, its a day where all of us are constantly checking MLBTradeRumors or refreshing our twitter feeds for the next Jeff Passan bomb to grace our timeline.Coming off a series victory over the Cleveland Guardians where the Dbacks would end up going 10-6 from the start of the 2nd half to the last day before the deadline, there was hope among fans and players on the team that GM Mike Hazen would go ahead and be an aggressive buyer and fill the positional needs this team has shown to be lacking throughout 2026. What we got wasfar from the outcome we had been hoping for to say the least.Invite Lost In The Mail?With today being the last day for teams to make trades before the deadline at 6 PM EST, the notifications from the top baseball reporters were going off all day. We saw nearly every NL playoff hopeful make some kind of move to strengthen their rosters, especially the teams like the Padres, Phillies, Cubs and even Pirates who are all still jockeying for one of the 3 Wild Card spots. There were some rumors about the Diamondbacks being involved in discussions for players like Casey Mize of the Tigers, or Alec Burleson from the Cardinals, but thats where it always seemed to end at just a discussion and nothing being finalized.I sat there watching the time tick away thinking Alright, (Mike) Hazen will get something done before time is up,let him cook and kept repeating that to myself, but once the final 10 to 15 minutes approached I got nervous that we might not see anything come to fruition, but right as I had that thought, the news finally came through and the Snakes made a move.NOOT NOOT!Brandon, Gabe and I planned to have a deadline special episode where we would discuss all the moves that were made for the Diamondbacks and who was dealt for the reinforcements that we were sure were on their way, but like a lot of other online we were quite disappointed to see that the only trade Mike Hazen would be was trading Daniel Eagan (#5 prospect), Sandro Santana (#26 Prospect) and a Player-To-Be-Named-Later (PTBNL) in exchange for Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbar. Noot did miss a good chunk of time to start the season due to injury so his .234/.333/.354 line with 3 HR and 16 RBI might not seem like the most exciting numbers to Dbacks fans, but some of his underlying metrics give fans some more hope that he could be a solid addition for a team that is still well in the wild card race.Disappointing DeadlineWhile the addition of Nootbar does at least improve the roster by bringing in a guy who has a solid walk rate and low chase % (also would mean we have a player who can slot in for Kepler should we hold onto that playoff spot), the Diamondbacks biggest needs going into the deadline was more Starting Pitching and an answer to their lackluster production from the first base position, Lars Nootbars addition addresses neither of those issues.Gabe and I in a few episodes before the season even got underway that we would not be surprised if Mike Hazen and the front office use players like Corbin Burnes and Justin Martinez, who would be expected to return sometime around the All-Star Break/Trade Deadline, as reason to not be as aggressive at the deadline because thats as good or better than any trade we could make. Even with us already being prepared for that to be the case, it didnt make this lack of moves at the deadline any less frustrating from a fans perspective, especially considering the other Wild Card contending teams like the Padres and Cubs made not just one but multiple acquisitions to their clubs.The fellas and I did agree that getting Burnes, JMart and Puk back are indeed huge additions and potentially better than names that could have been available at the deadline, but the risk of relying players who havent pitched in over a year to come in and be the boost/savior to the team can be a decision that could either prove to be the right call, or could blow up in the DBacks face and potentially even cost Mike Hazen his job as the DBacks GM.Keep On TruckingThis team showed that with their current roster they indeed have the talent to compete with the other playoff caliber teams, they just need to take Mike Hazens trust in them and the players returning from the IL and use it to fuel their playoff hunt and hope its enough to get them not just a spot in October but hopefully enough momentum to make a run at a title.
