As I enter the month of July, playing quickstart MLB, many players available through the trade block, however, my question:

Why are some players on the block who are solid veterans, playing for a team with a "win now" approach.

For example, Arizona is in first place, they are in "win now" mode, yet starting first basebman, Paul Goldschmidt, is available. Goldschmidt has a slash line of .294/.396/.529 and is not a FA till after 2019

Also available from Arizona is starting pitcher, Patrick Corbin. Corbin is scheduled to be a FA after the season. Corbin is 8-2 with a 3.21 ERA and an ERA+ of 134.

Seem right that these two examples would be available?
