Eugenio Suárez leads the National League in home runs, which makes him an enticing trade target. Several teams are vying to acquire him before the trade deadline.
No one in baseball has more suitors at the moment than Eugenio Suárez. The Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman seems destined to be on the move before the trade deadline at the end of the month, and he could be the best player available on the trade market.
Suárez just made the All-Star Team for the second time in his 12-year career. He leads the National League with 36 home runs and 86 runs batted in, and his .605 slugging percentage is second in the league to Shohei Ohtani’s .614. He also has a reputation as a good defensive player.
The 34-year-old third baseman is earning $15 million this season, which is the final year of an eight-year contract that began in 2018. As a pending free agent, it makes sense that the 50-51 Diamondbacks, who are nine games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division and 5.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, would shop him around.
