RELIEVERS: 2023 pen reconfigurations after the trade deadline

We are well into August now—time to look at changes across the reliever landscape, and where better to start than Arizona and Seattle? The Mariners traded closer Paul Sewald (RHP, ARI) to Arizona and the dominoes fell. Sewald is now the closer, Kevin Ginkel (RHP, ARI) is not; Scott McGough (RHP, ARI) is not, and frankly, with Andrew Chafin (LHP, MIL) traded from Arizona to Milwaukee, lefty Kyle Nelson (LHP, ARI) might be as big a vulture threat as Ginkel or McGough. Peter Strzelecki (RHP, ARI) came back to Arizona in the Chafin trade.

Here is the new Arizona configuration, with HQ projections:
