At the trade deadline and following the Lindor deal, the Dbacks have moved their SS Ahmed. He was signed for $8M and $10M over the next 2 years. Makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is that they got back Moustakas who has a bloated contract of $16M and $18M over the next 2 seasons!
Dbacks are now down to $16M for FA and $23.6 for extensions. The saga continues.
I just looked at their transaction log since the beginning of the calendar year and they have made just one other trade. About 3 months ago they sent a valuable young catcher to the Mets for an average IF, another ill advised trade.
Regarding Lindor's morale, he was very happy with the Indians and was a team leader highly respected by his teammates. He was having a slightly subpar year for him, but great when compared to other SS.
