With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Arizona Diamondbacks find themselves holding one of the market’s most desirable chips: Eugenio […]

Several teams with postseason aspirations have reportedly been linked to Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Eugenio Suárez as the trade deadline draws closer.

Eugenio Suarez’s defense may be the messy little secret in Yankees’ trade talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Eugenio Suarez still has power. That much is clear. "He's been a really good power hitter in the league for a long time," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Monday night's game.

The New York Yankees were presumed as the favorites to trade for third baseman Eugenio Suarez. But the Yanks went a different direction at the hot corner on Friday, landing Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies.

The New York Yankees are prepared to be extra aggressive at the trade deadline, and one insider believes this third baseman is the best fit for them.

For New York, removing Seattle from the Suarez sweepstakes clears one runway—but also increases visible competition. The Yankees have generally avoided overpaying for external help; trading top prospects or assuming long-term risk doesn’t fit their current Blue-Chip Avoidance Strategy.

Most teams might prefer a high-risk, high-upside project type of pitcher in a package of two arms, but the Rockies probably should not be trusting their development system to mold a pitcher who fits that description. Herring and Grosz should fit well in Colorado's system with the chance to start rising quickly through the organization.
