Introduction
In February 2026, Blaze Alexander was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Orioles for Kade Strowd and two prospects. Alexander has struggled in Baltimore, posting a .244 average and negative defensive stats, while Strowd has excelled in the minors with a 2.40 ERA. Prospects Wellington Aracena and Jose Mejia have also performed well, with Mejia emerging as a top hitter. Overall, the trade appears promising for the Diamondbacks despite Alexander’s current struggles.
