Diamondbacks acquire reliever Dylan Floro from Nationals in final deadline deal
The Diamondbacks made one last move ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon, landing right-handed reliever Dylan Floro from the Washington Nationals.
The Diamondbacks gave up slugger Andres Chaparro, a first baseman/third baseman whom they signed as a minor league free agent in November.
Floro, 33, has logged a 2.06 ERA in 51 games for the Nationals, though he has only 40 strikeouts in 52 1/3 innings.
A 13th-round draft pick by Tampa Bay out of Cal State Fullerton in 2012, Floro has 32 saves and a career 3.24 ERA in 381 games (no starts).
Arizona is his eighth major league team in his nine seasons.
Floro averages just 90 mph with his four-seam and two-seam fastballs but manages to mostly keep hitters off the barrel.
