Diamondbacks, Eugenio Suárez and Suarez
Digest more
According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Chicago Cubs have inquired with the Arizona Diamondbacks about third baseman Eugenio Suarez.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are reportedly expected to be sellers leading up to the MLB trade deadline on July 31, although it remains to be seen how many pieces they are willing to part with.
Here are the six most likely trade destinations for Suárez and the prospect packages it could take for each of those teams to land him.
Entering Wednesday, his 36 home runs on the year were tied for the National League lead until Shohei Ohtani mashed a homer for the fifth straight game. Still, Suárez is on a heater as one of the best power hitters in baseball. He trails only Cal Raleigh (39) and Ohtani (37) in home runs and leads the MLB in RBIs with 86.
Count the Cincinnati Reds among the teams to talk with the Arizona Diamondbacks about third baseman Eugenio Suárez, arguably the most sought-after bat on the trade market. Suárez, of course, spent seven seasons with the Reds, meaning that this would be a reunion.
The New York Yankees need a third baseman at the trade deadline, and Eugenio Suárez figures to be most teams' top target at the deadline.
