Identifying 4 Best Eugenio Suarez Trade Destinations Amid MLB Rumors

Identifying 4 Best Eugenio Suarez Trade Destinations Amid MLB Rumors

Yahoo4 days ago
The Arizona Diamondbacks entered the All-Star Break more than 5 games out from the final wild card spot in the National League. It comes at a time when MLB trade rumors are swirling regarding interest in the likes of Eugenio Suarez, Josh Naylor, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.
A complete firesale is unlikely. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that Arizona is expected to make Naylor and Suarez available. Both hitters are on expiring contracts and provide premium production in a trade market that doesn't offer a lot of options this summer.

With plenty of buyers around the league, let's examine the best landing spots for Suarez within the context of the latest MLB rumors.
New York Yankees
One of the biggest holes in the New York Yankees' lineup this season has been at second base. That's why the club designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment and moved Jazz Chisholm Jr. over to second. Now, Brian Cashman needs to find someone to fill the void at the hot corner. It's certainly not Oswald Peraza, who posted a .456 OPS in his first 148 at-bats this season. Nightengale reported on July 6 that the Yankees 'would love to acquire' Suárez, and there's mutual interest from the All-Star third baseman. The 33-year-old is also well regarded as a great clubhouse presence, which is something New York values. The added benefit for New York is that he'd require less prospect capital in a trade since he's on an expiring contract.
Eugenio Suarez stats (): .250/.320/.569, .889 OPS, 31 home runs, 18 doubles in 348 ABs

Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners are well aware of how highly regarded Suárez is in their clubhouse, particularly among the players currently on their roster. He played for Seattle from 2022 to 2023, posting a .751 OPS with 53 home runs and 183 RBIs in 312 games. He has been even better for Arizona. Seattle is in dire need of more run production from its corner infielders. At the All-Star Break, Mariners third basemen ranked 24th in OPS (.613) and 28th in home runs (two) across the league. Suárez told The Seattle Times that 'part of my heart is in Seattle' and Nightengale reported the Mariners want him back. He would be a great middle-of-the-order hitter to add to the Mariners' lineup for the stretch run.

Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs gave top prospect Matt Shaw every opportunity to keep the third base job. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old has posted a .556 OPS with more strikeouts (45) than hits (41) across 207 at-bats. It's time for a World Series contender to act like one at the MLB trade deadline. Suárez is an obvious solution for a team that went into the All-Star Break with the lowest OPS (.523) among MLB third basemen this season. Additionally, Suárez would be a short-term fix who wouldn't block Shaw from reclaiming the job in 2026. Acquiring Suárez would give him a chance to play for a contender, and the Cubs' lineup would improve dramatically with his addition.
Related:
New York Mets
The New York Mets have attempted to make it work at third base with their internal options. Thus far, they've been 'rewarded' with a .2348/.288/.388 triple-slash line and a .677 OPS since May 1. That's simply not going to cut it for a team that is already sacrificing run production at catcher and in center field. Suarez is the best hitter available this summer among the Mets' positions of need and it's not particularly close. New York also has the young pitching that Arizona is reportedly looking for. It's a natural match and the added bonus for Steve Cohen would be keeping Suarez away from the Yankees.

Celtics sign guard who once led D-I in steals per game with 3.1

The Boston Celtics have added some fast hands to the organization. On Monday, Boston agreed with Hayden Gray on an Exhibit 10 contract. It's a deal that incentivizes Gray to join the Celtics' G League team (Maine) if he is cut from the NBA roster. Gray's calling card is his defense. In his final season at UC San Diego, the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 3.1 steals per game. That was best in Division I. He also put up 11.2 points, 3.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. He shot it at 41.8% from 3-point range. Gray played in one Summer League game in Vegas for the Celtics, scoring seven points with two assists and two steals in 20 minutes.

'I've got pretty good anticipation, reading the ball handler's eyes, knowing where they want to go with it,' Gray said. 'I take pride in defense. A lot of teams are really focusing on creating more possessions, and I think I can do that by causing turnovers and also just being a floor general, handling the ball, and setting the table for everyone.' The modern NBA is all about shooting. Maybe that'll be enough to allow Gray to stick around.
