Struggling Yankees 'Would Love To Acquire' $66 Million Slugger

The New York Yankees went to the World Series last season and came into this season with high expectations. After an eventful offseason, the Bronx Bombers looked good, but they had a huge hole at the hot corner.
Following Gleyber Torres' departure and an unfortunate injury to Oswaldo Cabrera, the Yankees have been left with one of the worst third base situations in the sport.
New York is likely going to turn to the trade market to find a player to help them push toward another American League Pennant this season.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale recently reported that the Yankees would "love to acquire" Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez to fill the massive void at third base in the Bronx.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JULY 03: Eugenio Suarez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks celebrates his solo home run against the San Francisco Giants during the fifth inning at Chase Field on July 03, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. More"The Yankees would love to acquire D-backs third baseman Eugenio Suárez at the deadline and slide Jazz Chisholm back to second base," Nightengale wrote. "The Yankees, along with the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, have also expressed interest in Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes."
Suárez is the perfect addition for the Yankees to make this season.
Their lineup has serious pop already, largely courtesy of Aaron Judge, but if the Yankees are able to add another potential 45 home run bat, the lineup adds an extra element of power.
To this point in the year, Suárez has been one of the best power hitters in baseball. If you add him to the hitter-friendly confines of Yankee Stadium while being protected by Judge in the lineup, the veteran infielder will only get better.
The Yankees are showing some aggressiveness ahead of the trade deadline. If they're willing to chase a big fish this month, Suárez would likely be the best name to fill their biggest void.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury
The post Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Despite losing their fourth game in a row, this time 1-0 to the visiting Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees' focus is already on Tuesday's tilt. Veteran designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton made his season debut after rehabbing injuries in both elbows. Stanton went 2 for 4 with a strikeout in the loss. He discussed the performance candidly with the media postgame, including with SNY's Yankees Videos account on X, formerly Twitter. ''It's good to be out there. Thought I saw the ball pretty well, besides one at-bat. So just working on that, making sure my timing's geared up. Get rolling' – Giancarlo Stanton on his 2025 season debut,' posted the account. Advertisement It was a solid debut for Stanton, and a performance the Yankees will definitely need more of moving forward. At the moment, the team's four-game slide is the worst of the season. The Angels are in town for three more games before back-to-back series against the Baltimore Orioles at home and Cincinnati Reds on the road. New York has played seven games in seven days, and they have nine more games over the next nine days. Can the Bronx Bombers correct course during this pivotal yet long stretch? Can Giancarlo Stanton help Yankees out of current skid? Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Stanton is likely replacing Ben Rice in the lineup the majority of the time. The second year first baseman did an admirable job filling in for Stanton, as he solidified his spot on the roster for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, getting Stanton back deepens the Bombers' lineup for hopefully the foreseeable future. During this stretch, having that depth will be key. Advertisement With veteran Paul Goldschmidt also having a resurgent season in pinstripes, at bats might be a bit scarce at times. Team captain Aaron Judge and the other outfielders usually slot in at DH on their days off if there's a matchup that manager Aaron Boone prefers. Monday's performance is hopefully just the start of another powerful season in the Bronx for Stanton. If that is the case, then don't be surprised to see the Yankees in the thick of yet another postseason race later this season.

Mark Leiter Jr. injury: Yankees place reliever on IL with stress fracture in leg
NEW YORK – A beat-up and challenged Yankees bullpen just received another tough break. Before Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners, right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. landed on the 15-day injury list due to a stress fracture in his left leg. Advertisement Still in a fact-finding position regarding what 'I think is (a) fairly rare'' injury, Leiter said he's 'not really sure of the timetable'' for returning to action. Leiter said the trouble occurred exactly two weeks ago, when he lost a foot race to the Reds' speedy Elly De La Cruz while covering first base during a June 24 play at Cincinnati. During the play, Leiter described feeling something 'pop'' in his leg, which he initially thought was a calf issue. After two days of treatment, Leiter felt he was 'definitely trending in a positive way'' and was not bothered pitching with the condition until Saturday, when he experienced discomfort warming up. Advertisement The problem grew worse on Sunday, when he pitched two-thirds of an inning at Citi Field, walking a batter and hitting a batter in a 6-4 win against the Mets. '(That's when) I felt compromised for the first time (on the mound),'' said Leiter, a Toms River native, with 4.46 ERA and two saves, with 46 strikeouts in 34.2 innings this year. Leiter went for medical testing, including an MRI on Monday and Tuesday, revealing what the club described as a left fibular head stress fracture. 'Hopefully, this is something we can get hammered out and get him back to throwing as well as he was the first couple months of the season,'' said manager Aaron Boone. Advertisement 'Mark's a guy we've leaned on a lot,'' with 41 appearances, more than any Yankee reliever this year except lefty Tim Hill. Before Tuesday's game against Seattle, the Yanks recalled righty Clayton Beeter. Valuable reliever Fernando Cruz (oblique strain) hit the IL on June 30 and might not return until September. Key setup men Jonathan Loaisiga and Luke Weaver have been shaky lately, and Devin Williams was restored to the closer's role in June after a brutal April. Meanwhile, with starter Clarke Schmidt expected to undergo Tommy John surgery, rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler is scheduled to make his MLB debut start Wednesday against Seattle. Advertisement And with Leiter out of the bullpen mix for an unspecified time, it 'creates an opportunity'' for someone 'to step up and secure'' a role, said Boone. But the Yankees could be aggressive in seeking relief help before the July 31 MLB trade deadline. This article originally appeared on Mark Leiter Jr. injury: Yankees pitcher to IL with leg fracture
