The Diamondbacks have a surplus of outfielders and Kevin Towers has been fielding calls over the last few weeks.

The surprise signing of Cody Ross last month added to an outfield that already included Justin Upton, Gerardo Parra, Jason Kubel and rookie Adam Eaton.

"Always fielding phone calls, always having discussions," Towers said. "Still getting lots of hits on our outfielders. I think once we signed Cody, those people who were still looking for offense started ringing my phone. We're in a position where unless it's the right deal, we don't have to move any of our outfielders."

Towers said that the organization felt Ross was a player they did not want to pass up.

"He's a guy that we felt fit well with us short term and long term, and now we're in more of a leveraged position with our outfielders where we can sit and wait for the right deal to come to us," he added. "If it doesn't, then we send Adam back to Triple-A and go with Parra and Ross in center and keep Upton and Kubel on the corners. If something presents itself that we think is the right deal, then we go ahead and do it and we've got protection because we've gotten Ross."
