The Arizona Diamondbacks have seemingly entered selling territory ahead of the trade deadline this season.
With the loaded National League West knocking them out of contention as well as the crushing season-ending injury to Corbin Burnes, the Diamondbacks will likely look to trade players like Eugenio Suárez in the coming weeks.
Sports Illustrated's Nick Selbe recently predicted the Diamondbacks would cut ties with Suárez in a blockbuster trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. Selbe also listed teams like the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees as trade fits.

DENVER, COLORADO - JUNE 20: Eugenio Suarez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks hits a 2 RBI home run against the Colorado Rockies in the sixth inning at Coors Field on June 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. More"Suárez is a streaky power hitter who's had a terrific first half—the 33-year-old leads the NL in RBIs and is on pace to top his previous career high of 49 home runs set during the 2019 juiced-ball season," Selbe wrote. "He also recently hit the 300th home run of his career and will likely be the best bat moved before the deadline.
"D-Backs general manager Mike Hazen has thus far indicated an unwillingness to sell, but top prospect Jordan Lawlar is waiting in the wings, Suárez is a pending free agent and Arizona may not have the pitching to keep up in the playoff race following season-ending injuries to ace Corbin Burnes and closers Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk."
It wouldn't be surprising to see Suárez traded this season. In fact, he seems like one of the more likely players to be dealt. With the Diamondbacks likely selling and Suárez in the midst of a career season, he's an obvious trade candidate.
But the Cubs and Yankees will likely be much more aggressive in pursuing him than the Brewers will. The fit makes sense in Milwaukee, but it's hard to imagine them outbidding the Bronx Bombers in a trade sweepstakes.

Quinn Priester throws 7 dominant innings as Brewers blank Rockies 5-0
MILWAUKEE — Quinn Priester struck out a career-high 11 batters in seven innings of one-hit ball, Joey Ortiz homered for the third time in four games, and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to four with a 5-0 victory over the major league-worst Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Priester (6-2) allowed a one-out single to Michael Toglia in the fifth and walked a pair while throwing 95 pitches in the longest and best start of his three major league seasons. Aaron Ashby and DL Hall completed the one-hitter. Brice Turang had three hits, including a run-scoring infield single in the first and an RBI double in the fifth. Ortiz hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Antonio Senzatela (3-11) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings. Facing the top of Colorado's lineup for the third time, Priester had an 0-2 count on Tyler Freeman to start the sixth before throwing four straight balls. He followed that by getting Jordan Beck to ground out, then struck out the next two batters on seven pitches. Milwaukee's pitching staff has an NL-leading 3.27 ERA over the last 31 games, during which the Brewers are 22-9. Chad Patrick (3-7, 3.72 ERA) tries to help the Brewers complete a three-game sweep when he faces the Rockies' German Marquez (3-8, 6.11) on Sunday. ___ AP MLB:

Ramirez singles in go-ahead run in 10th, Miami Marlins rally to beat Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7
Agustín Ramírez hit a run-scoring single in the 10th inning, Heriberto Hernández had a tying sacrifice fly in the ninth and the Miami Marlins stretched their winning streak to six games with an 8-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. Arizona led 7-3 entering the eighth inning, but Miami's Otto Lopez hit a two-run homer off Jalen Beeks and Liam Hicks followed with a run-scoring single to pull Miami to 7-6. Hernández tied it in ninth on a sacrifice fly off Shelby Miller after Dane Myers singled and stole two bases. Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara tosses away the rosin bag during the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Phoenix. Ross D. Franklin / AP Ramírez lined a run-scoring single off Juan Morillo (0-2) in the 10th. Anthony Bender (2-5) was perfect over the final two innings to close out Miami's comeback. Arizona's Ketel Marte homered and had four RBIs in his second home game since an emotional road trip to Chicago. Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt got off to shaky start, allowing two runs in the first inning — one on shortstop Geraldo Perdomo's fielding error. Pfaadt struck out the next three batters and allowed three runs — two earned — on five hits and struck out seven in five innings. Alcantara gave up a run on Pavin Smith's sacrifice fly in the first inning and five more in the fourth, capped by Marte's three-run homer that put Arizona up 6-3. Alcantara allowed seven runs on 10 hits in six innings. Key moment Myers was initially called out on his steal of third in the ninth, but it was overturned upon review. He scored easily on Hernandez's sacrifice fly to right. Key stat Marte became the third Arizona player with 500 career RBIs, joining Luis Gonzalez (774) and Paul Goldschmidt (710). Up next Miami RHP Cal Quantrill (3-7, 5.56 ERA) faces RHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 5.40) on Sunday in the series finale.
