The D-backs' former franchise shortstop was recently selected by another NL West division rival.
Former Arizona Diamondbacks franchise shortstop Nick Ahmed has been making the rounds of the NL West since Arizona designated him for assignment in late 2023.
After ending his 10-year tenure with the D-backs, Ahmed spent time with the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. On August 31, he signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres. He hasn't hit to an incredible slash this season, batting .232/.271/.300, good for a .571 OPS. He's been his regular defensive self, however, ranking in the 93rd percentile in Outs Above Average , and boasting a +6 fielding run value, awarding him 0.5 fWAR despite a 61 wRC+.
