The D-backs continue to fortify their starting rotation as they added another All-Star on Tuesday evening, according to a source.
Hours after formally announcing a six-year deal with Zack Greinke, the D-backs acquired Shelby Miller from the Braves for outfielder Ender Inciarte and top prospects Aaron Blair and Dansby Swanson.
The clubs have not confirmed the trade.

Swanson, a shortstop, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Draft and is also regarded as the top prospect in the D-backs organization, while Blair, a right-handed pitcher, is the club's No. 3 prospect.
Miller, a 25-year-old right-hander, has been linked to the D-backs throughout the offseason, but the two sides had some initial disagreements on what the return package would be.
Leading up to the Winter Meetings, it had been reported that Atlanta was inquiring about A.J. Pollock, but Arizona was reluctant to move the center fielder.
Miller started 33 games from the Braves last season and posted a 3.02 ERA in 205 1/3 innings.
