Diamondbacks Engage Multiple Teams in Eugenio Suárez Trade Sweepstakes

Eugenio Suárez is the most sought-after player leading up to the MLB trade deadline, with the Arizona Diamondbacks considering trading the All-Star third baseman despite his expressed desire to remain with the team. Suárez, who leads the National League in home runs and RBIs, has attracted aggressive interest primarily from the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, both looking to strengthen their lineups for playoff runs. The Diamondbacks, currently out of playoff contention, are asking for a high price and may consider retaining and re-signing Suárez if trade offers do not meet their valuation. Other teams like the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, and Cincinnati Reds have also been mentioned as potential suitors, though the Yankees and Mariners are viewed as front-runners due to their pressing needs at third base. Suárez’s pending free agency and expiring contract add complexity to the situation, but a trade before the deadline remains the most likely outcome, potentially followed by a re-signing scenario similar to past MLB trades. The bidding war for Suárez is expected to yield a significant haul of prospects for the Diamondbacks, who aim to maximize returns while also keeping open the option to re-sign their star player in the offseason.
