With the Arizona Diamondbacks sitting at 26-41 and 12.5 games out of first place in the NL West, it is obvious that they will be sellers when the trade deadline arrives.
The Diamondbacks have already started trading players. They swapped Connor Jackson for minor league reliever Sam Demel on July 15.
Another player that the Diamondbacks are rumored to be looking to move is Kelly Johnson.
Johnson started off the year with a bang. He hit .313 with nine home runs and 18 RBI in the month of March. Over the past two months, he has come back down to earth, hitting .250 with four home runs and 16 RBI over that span.
Johnson is probably due for a bit more regression throughout the course of the season. His ISO is .250 this year. Kelly has never posted an ISO greater than .180. Then again, at age 28, there is the chance that Johnson is having a breakout season. Either way, Johnson will provide above average offense from second base.
It is well-known that the New York Mets have had issues at second base all season.
With Luis Castillo on the disabled list, the Mets have turned to Ruben Tejada. While Tejada is solid defensively, he leaves something to be desired on offense. He is the third youngest player in the majors at 20 years old and still needs time to develop.
