Diamondbacks swap Hill for Baltimore's Hardy
5/1/14
After shopping Aaron Hill since the beginning of the season, the Diamondbacks complete the deal to send Aaron hill to the Orioles for JJ Hardy. This move gives the Diamondbacks Gold Glove defense at short and should give them some pop from the SS position. It also allows them to no longer have to be held down by Hill's contract after this season and possibly next year have the middle infield consist of Chris Owings and Didi Gregorious.
For Baltimore, this move allows them to move Machado into his natural position at shortstop and gives them a solid 2B that can hit.
