Jake Diekman simply took the bullpen cart over to the D-backs' clubhouse after they acquired him

The D-backs made a couple moves to bolster their bullpen at the Trade Deadline on Tuesday, reuniting with former reliever Brad Ziegler in a deal with the Marlins and adding southpaw Jake Diekman in a trade with the Rangers. Although Ziegler would need a flight to join the D-backs at Chase Field, Diekman had it easy -- Texas was already in town for a two-game series. He even threw a perfect inning during Monday night's 9-5 Rangers victory.
Now, Diekman found himself swapping clubhouses mid-series. To make the transition easier, he took advantage of Chase Field's bullpen cart to lead him to his new teammates:
No one likes moving on their own, anyway. Loading, unloading and you often have to transport yourself too? Pass.
Diekman has the right mindset here, and the D-backs were more than happy to lend their new pitcher a hand (with an assist from their mascot/driver, Baxter). Just another reason why the bullpen cart is the best.
