Yankees in pursuit of Eugenio Suarez trade
Digest more
As the MLB trade deadline looms, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez could find himself heading to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Chicago Cubs appear to be doing just that: According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Jed Hoyer and Co. "could have interest" in the Colorado Rockies third baseman, with an eye toward pairing him with the righty-hitting Matt Shaw to form a platoon that winds up being greater than the sum of its parts.
The Mariners and Diamondbacks have had talks about a trade that would send Eugenio Suarez back to Seattle. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
With about 60 games left, the Mariners are five games back of the Astros in the AL West. Adding one of the best sluggers in the game is the kind of move that would inch the team closer to finally overtaking the team that has tortured them for the past decade.
No player in MLB history has been traded in-season after reaching 35 home runs. Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who just hit his 35th homer, could very well be the 1st.
The Diamondbacks received some good news on the injury front for a change with updates on Shelby Miller and Eugenio Suarez.
If the Yankees can't afford the Diamondbacks slugger, they might go to Plan B, and open the door for the Tigers.
