Yankees in pursuit of Eugenio Suarez trade
Digest more
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.
The hottest hitter in Major League Baseball is also the hottest trade chip on the summer market, and his name is Eugenio Suárez.
The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs aren't alone in the NL Central in their pursuits of Eugenio Suarez ahead of the Trade Deadline.
Suárez's current hot streak combined with the scarcity of impact bats available will embolden Arizona to ask for a king's ransom in return for his services. The Yankees could probably manage to hold on to George Lombard Jr. but they would be required to gut the remainder of their farm system to rent Suárez for a few months.
The Chicago Cubs don't necessarily need to be active ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline to feel good about their World Series chances.
