The Seattle Mariners have agreed to acquire third baseman Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. First baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handed pitching prospects Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos are going to Arizona, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. This is a massive pickup for the Mariners, who have remade their corner infield in a pair of trades with the Diamondbacks over the past week. They previously acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from Arizona. He's once again teammates with Suarez, who earned his second All-Star nod this season and has slashed .248/.320/.576 with 36 homers, 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 437 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has already performed well in the past in Seattle, where he played from 2022-23, and should be a huge offensive upgrade at third over Ben Williamson. With Suarez and catcher ...

On the eve of Thursday's trade deadline, the Houston Astros are showing interest in Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, and Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. The most interesting possibility here may be Correa, who began his career in Houston and flourished as a member of the team. Correa, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, debuted with the Astros in 2015. He played with the club through 2021 and took home Rookie of the Year honors, made two All-Star teams, and won a World Series in their uniform before signing with the Twins in free agency. He's now in the fourth season of a six-year, $200 million contract, which looks pricey considering his output in 2025. Correa has batted a pedestrian .267/.319/.386 with seven homers, 31 RBI, and 40 runs scored in his age-30 campaign, and he hasn't gone yard in any of his 20 games this month. Correa has a full no-trade clause, but he still lives in Houston in the offseason and would waive it to return there, according to Nightengale. With that said, the Astros do have an established shortstop in Jeremy Pena (ribs), who should return from the 10-day injured list soon after missing over a month with a small rib fracture. Correa and Pena have exclusively played short in the majors, so the Astros would have to find a way to make that work. It seems likely that Correa would take over at third with ... [More]

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) is returning to the lineup on Wednesday against Detroit Tigers right-hander Chris Paddack. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter. Suarez had an injury scare on Monday when he took a fastball off the right index finger, but X-rays came back negative, and he ended up missing just one game. This could be the final game in an Arizona uniform for Suarez, who is likely to end up on the move before Thursday's trade deadline. The 34-year-old has drawn interest from several contenders during what has been a prolific season. Fresh off his second All-Star Game appearance, Suarez has slashed .248/.321/.577 with 36 homers, a league-leading 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 433 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) is not in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Although X-rays came back negative on Suarez's right index finger after he was hit by a pitch in Monday's loss to Detroit, it's not that big of a surprise that the D-backs are playing it safe with one of the top available bats at this year's trade deadline. Fantasy managers should consider the 34-year-old right-handed slugger to be day-to-day and check back to see if he's available to play on Wednesday. It would not be a big surprise if we don't see Suarez back in the lineup until the July 31 trade deadline on Thursday, though. Blaze Alexander is starting at third and batting ninth on Tuesday against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Alexander could be the team's everyday third baseman if/when Suarez is traded this week.UPDATE: A CT scan and MRI exam both came back negative on Suarez's injured finger on Tuesday.

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) appears to have avoided a major injury after leaving a loss to the Detroit Tigers early on Monday. Suarez told reporters after the game that X-rays on his right index finger came back negative, and he'll undergo further testing on Tuesday. The two-time All-Star exited in the ninth inning after Tigers closer Will Vest hit him in the hand with a 95.6 mph fastball. It didn't look good, but it seems that the Diamondbacks and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. The same goes for teams that are interested in acquiring Suarez before Thursday's trade deadline.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (hand) left a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers in the ninth inning on Monday after taking a pitch off the right hand. The Diamondbacks replaced Suarez, who was in obvious pain, with Blaze Alexander after Tigers closer Will Vest hit him with a 95.6 mph fastball. If this is a serious injury, it could have major ramifications on Thursday's trade deadline. Suarez is considered the best hitter who could end up on the move in the coming days, but a trade may not come together if he has to miss a significant amount of time. From a fantasy standpoint, the 34-year-old would be an enormous loss for managers. Suarez has been one of the game's elite power hitters this season, having slashed .248/.321/.577 with 36 homers, 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 433 plate appearances.UPDATE: Manager Torey Lovullo said Suarez will go for X-rays, and the D-backs are calling him day-to-day for now.

The Detroit Tigers are one of the strong suitors for Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez with the July 31 trade deadline coming this week, would love to finalize a deal before Suarez and the D-backs finish a series in Detroit this Wednesday, according to USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale. Arizona is in Motown for a three-game series this week. Suarez is one of the most attractive and available bats at this year's deadline and is basically a lock to get moved at this point with the Snakes selling. Detroit has been using a combination of Zach McKinstry, Matt Vierling and Colt Keith at the hot corner lately, so Suarez would be a massive upgrade over that committee. The 34-year-old Venezuelan slugger currently leads baseball with 87 RBI and is tied for fourth with his 36 home runs. A move to Detroit might actually be a slight downgrade fantasy-wise for Suarez.

The New York Yankees have distanced themselves from a potential trade for Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez and are now focused more on names like St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan, Minnesota Twins utility man Willi Castro and Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada, according to sources. The Yankees pulled off a trade to acquire Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies to fill their void at third base on Thursday, so it makes sense as to why they have backed off from Suarez in favor of players that can play multiple positions elsewhere on the diamond. Suarez is still fully expected to be dealt by the July 31 trade deadline, but it doesn't look like he'll be headed to the Bronx. He's having one of the best years of his career and is tied for fourth in homers (36) while leading the league with 87 RBI.

The New York Mets are not one of the teams pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez before the July 31 trade deadline, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The Mets are instead prioritizing acquiring bullpen help, according to Heyman, who lists starting pitching and center field as other potential areas of focus for the club. On paper, Suarez would be a clear upgrade over Mets third base options Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, and Brett Baty. They've combined for mediocre-at-best production, while Suarez has been one of the top power hitters in the league. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear that the Mets and Diamondbacks will line up on a deal for the two-time All-Star.

The Seattle Mariners made a big splash Thursday in acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the two teams may not be finished dealing. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez remains the Mariners' "top priority" as the July 31 trade deadline approaches, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. The Mariners are among many teams pursuing Suarez, a soon-to-be free agent who's likely to wind up on the move in the next week. The 34-year-old has upped his stock by slashing .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and a league-best 86 RBI over 416 plate appearances. He was previously a Mariner from 2022-23 and would provide a sizable upgrade over current third basemen Ben Williamson and Miles Mastrobuoni. Between Suarez and catcher Cal Raleigh, the Mariners would have two elite sluggers who have combined for 75 homers and 170 RBI this year.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, among the most coveted players available around the July 31 deadline, has drawn interest from the Cincinnati Reds, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Suarez, 34, played for the Reds from 2015-21 and posted three seasons of 30-plus home runs with the club. He slugged a career-best 49 bombs with the Reds in 2019. The two-time All-Star has already swatted 36 dingers this year and hit .254/.325.598 with a major league-high 86 RBI and 64 runs scored in 412 plate appearances, leading to vast interest around the league. The Reds do have a promising young third baseman in Noelvi Marte, but the team has experimented with him in the outfield in recent days. Marte is now a candidate to change positions in the event of a Suarez acquisition. After a sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros, the Diamondbacks are 50-53, 5 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot, and all but guaranteed to sell at the deadline. That could include shipping Suarez, a soon-to-be free agent, to Cincinnati or another city.

It remains to be seen if the Arizona Diamondbacks will actually trade third baseman Eugenio Suarez, but The Athletic's Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma believe the Chicago Cubs should be involved until the last minute up to the July 31 traded deadline, and it's no secret that they are looking at Suarez as a potential upgrade at third base over struggling rookie Matt Shaw. Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer and D-backs general manager Mike Hazen are good friends who previously worked in Boston's front office, so that could help facilitate a trade of Suarez to the North Side. Making things more complicated, Arizona is prepared to wait until next week before deciding whether they will be buyers or sellers after sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals out of the All-Star break. Suarez is currently third in baseball with 35 homers and leads MLB with hi 85 RBI.

Another day, another two home runs for Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez. The 34-year-old went deep twice for the second game in a row in a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Suarez smashed a three-run bomb in the first inning and added a solo shot in the third, upping his National League-leading total to 35. He finished the game 2-for-4 to improve his line to .257/.328/.601 with 85 RBI and 63 runs scored in 403 plate appearances. Suarez now leads all of baseball in RBI and ranks behind only Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, and Shohei Ohtani in slugging percentage. It's not often a hitter of that caliber switches teams during the season, but it could happen with rumors swirling around Suarez leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued to show off his tremendous power Saturday in a 10-1 rout of the St. Louis Cardinals. Suarez posted his fifth multi-home run game of the season, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and a walk. The 34-year-old has slugged a major league-leading 18 HRs since June 1 and now has an NL-best 33 on the season. He's also slashing an outstanding .254/.326/.585 with an NL-high 81 RBI and 61 runs scored over 399 plate appearances. Suarez has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors leading up to the July 31 deadline, and he's continuing to boost his stock. The Diamondbacks, who are 4 1/2 games back of a wild-card spot, will have to decide whether to move the two-time All-Star.

With the July 31 trade deadline nearing, the New York Yankees have inquired about Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Suarez is on several teams' wish lists, but the Diamondbacks are unsure whether they'll sell, according to Heyman. New York is an obvious fit for Suarez: The team has a glaring need at the hot corner, and Suarez is the best potentially available third baseman in the sport. Suarez, 34, is a two-time All-Star who has slashed .251/.322/.567 with 31 home runs and 78 RBI in 395 plate appearances this season. He's also a six-time 30-HR man who could reach the 40 mark for the second time in his career. With the Diamondbacks 5 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot and Suarez due to hit free agency in the offseason, it will be a surprise if he's still wearing their uniform on Aug. 1.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (hand) is starting at third base and is batting fifth in Friday's series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Andre Pallante to start the second half of the season. Suarez wore a pitch off his left hand during the All-Star game on Tuesday, but thankfully X-rays came back negative and the 34-year-old slugger will be available to fantasy managers to begin the second half of the season. Although the Venezuelan infielder swings and misses frequently and has his fair share of strikeouts, he's having one of the best years of his career after clubbing 31 home runs and driving in a league-high 78 runs for the Snakes in 95 games in the first half. On an expiring contract and with the D-backs expected to be sellers at this year's trade deadline, Suarez could be wearing a different uniform by July 31.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (hand) is expected to return to the lineup in the second-half opener, reports Alex Weiner of AZ Sports. He was hit by a pitch in the hand during the All-Star game and was obviously removed after for precautionary reasons, but he seems to have avoided a major injury. It's been officially ruled a hand contusion, and the slugger will look to keep up his massive home run pace in the second half. The 33-year-old is fourth in the majors with 31 home runs, making him one of the most valuable players in fantasy so far.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (pinky) did not enjoy Tuesday's All-Star Game as much as other players, but fortunately, he seems to have avoided any serious injury. Suarez entered the game in the top of the fifth inning as a defensive replacement. He grounded out in his first at-bat, and then got hit in the left hand by a pitch in the eighth inning. He ran the bases before being subbed out defensively, and he did not participate in the tie-breaker home run swing-off. The good news is that X-rays after the game came back negative, per FOX Sports' Rowan Kavner. The 33-year-old has followed up his strong 2024 campaign this season, slashing .250/.320/.569 with 31 HR, 58 runs scored, and 78 RBI in 391 plate appearances. His name has also come up in potential trade talks heading toward the trade deadline.

According to Jon Heyman, the Yankees are looking to fix their issues at third base with an obvious but effective option -- third baseman Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Suarez is slashing .250/.320/.569 and leads the NL with 78 RBI. He has crushed 31 home runs this year for Arizona, but his team is still just 47-50 at the break, sitting 11 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and 5.5 games out of a wild-card spot. With so many injuries to their pitching staff, the D-backs are expected to be sellers at the deadline, and Suarez should be one of the best bats on the market. Heyman also mentions Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon as other potential fits if a deal for Suarez can't be struck.

USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale reports that the Seattle Mariners have interest in reuniting with Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez after they traded him to Arizona back in November of 2023. Nightengale also reports that Seattle has interest in D-backs first baseman Josh Naylor as they look to boost their offense in the second half of the season. Suarez spent both 2022 and 2023 with the M's and he led the league in strikeouts both years while combining to hit .234/.327/.423 with a .751 OPS, 53 home runs and 183 RBI in 312 games. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger made his second All-Star squad in 2025 and is having one of the finest years in his 12 seasons in the big leagues with 31 homers and a league-leading 78 RBI through the first half. Suarez, who will be a free agent in the winter, will be one of the most sought-after power bats this summer.
