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.

Potential Yankees Trade Target Infielder Nearing Massive Home Run Milestone
Potential Yankees Trade Target Infielder Nearing Massive Home Run Milestone originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez has put together a very strong year as he nears his pending free agency. Advertisement Only a year removed from his fifth 30-home-run season, the veteran infielder has put together a strong 130 wRC+ and .836 OPS, his highest in a season since his 49 home-run 2019 campaign. On multiple occasions, Suarez has been linked to the New York Yankees, and fits the bill for what the Yankees typically look for in trade deadline targets. Entirely unrelated to the trade deadline, however, the 33-year-old slugger is nearing a very special milestone in his career. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (28) hits a two run home run against the Toronto Blue Jays in the second inning at Rogers Hamilton - Imagn Images Following his two-run home run on Thursday, which lifted Arizona to a 9-5 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Suarez is now at 298 home runs over the course of his career. Advertisement MLB Trade Rumors noted that Suarez has 18 career multi-home-run games, including two this season, so the veteran could easily reach 300 home runs in one fell swoop, or over the course of two games. Suarez has been oft linked to the New York Yankees, who are desperately in need of a third baseman once again due to Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s relative inexperience at the hot corner and lack of productivity at second base. The addition of Suarez, assuming he doesn't go on a major home run drought, would give the Yankees their fourth 300+ career home run slugger, joining Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Paul Goldschmidt. The prevailing opinion around the league seems to be that the Diamondbacks, who have an embarrassment of riches in the infield, and have yet to give third base prospect Jordan Lawlar a lengthy stint in the pros, might deal Suarez to beef up their farm system. Advertisement With the Yankees lurking, could Suarez go on a tear to boost his trade stock heading into July?
