"El Tri" promises to draw a big crowd in the heavily Mexican greater Phoenix area. Coach Chepo de la Torre took a tour of the University of Phoenix Stadium on Monday.
One of the most telling signs of a bad team is that they do not have one glaring weakness. Through the course of a season, game-by-game, there are new ways to lose and more fundamental flaws revealed.
It's no secret that the Diamondbacks are listening to offers for some of their outfielders, including Justin Upton, but GM Kevin Towers said he will only make a move if Arizona gets the "right deal" in return.
The Phoenix Suns have gone back to the film room to try to find what is wrong with the team as they struggle through only one win in their past eight games.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are still looking to trade Justin Upton, and the Seattle Mariners have joined the list of potential teams. Upton isn't a fan of heading to Seattle, but Arizona is looking for the best possible deal.
The Phoenix Suns slid to 12-22 on the year with losses in seven of their last eight games. Only the New Orleans Hornets have a worse record in the Western Conference.
The Phoenix Suns came up short against the Utah Jazz, something that hasn't been an uncommon result lately. Phoenix was dominated in the paint, something that has also been a consistent problem.
It takes more than being just an athlete, big, or a good shooter to be a consistently good player in the paint and the team is learning that the hard way after having eight years of glory with an All-Star.
The Phoenix Suns continue to shuffle things around in the starting five, but it doesn't appear to be doing them a lot of good. They've lost seven of their last eight and the changes have left some players a bit out of sorts.
Losing 11 of their last 12 was the end of the road for Ken Whisenhunt in Arizona, but he may soon get another chance elsewhere. Steve Trasker reports that Whisenhunt is on Buffalo's short list, and Whisenhunt's record likely has others interested.
