Could Cubs, Yankees End Up In Trade Bidding War For $66 Million Slugger?
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
The New York Yankees desperately need to add a third baseman ahead of the trade deadline, and a lot of experts predict the Yankees will land Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez.
Suárez is seemingly the best option on the market at the hot corner. With that level of value, there are bound to be other suitors. One of those suitors could be an NL powerhouse.
FanSided's Zachary Rotman recently suggested the Chicago Cubs, not the Yankees, could land a deal for Suárez in the coming weeks.

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 Cubs might not need Suarez as much as the Yankees, given how good the rest of their lineup is, but can you imagine adding his bat to that lineup at the one position of need?" Rotman wrote. "A Suarez trade would give the Cubs three of the seven players with at least 25 home runs this season and five of the top 30 qualified position players in WRC+. That'll play!
"The Cubs need to add pitching, too, but a Suarez trade would make this team genuinely terrifying to face from top to bottom in their lineup. It'd be worthwhile for the Cubs to go all-in, especially in their only guaranteed year with Kyle Tucker."
With Matt Shaw putting together a horrendous first half of the season, the Cubs need to find a replacement at the hot corner.
Adding Suárez to this loaded lineup might make the Cubs the favorites in the National League. He's the kind of slugger who can be placed in the middle of a star-studded lineup.
It would take a haul to steal the slugger out from under the Yankees' nose, but that's something the Cubs can afford to do. They're seemingly all-in this year, and a trade for Suárez would put them in position to win the World Series.

Shohei Ohtani to hit leadoff for NL in All-Star Game, followed by Ronald Acuña Jr. of host Braves
ATLANTA (AP) — Shohei Ohtani will bat leadoff as the designated hitter for the National League in Tuesday night's All-Star Game at Truist Park, and the Los Angeles Dodgers star will be followed in the batting order by left fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. of the host Atlanta Braves. Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte will hit third in the batting order announced Monday by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, followed by Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman, San Diego third baseman Manny Machado, Dodgers catcher Will Smith, Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. Pittsburgh right-hander Paul Skenes will start his second straight All-Star Game, Major League Baseball announced last week. Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal will make his first All-Star start for the American League. 'I think when you're talking about the game, where it's at, these two guys … are guys that you can root for, are super talented, are going to be faces of this game for years to come,' Roberts said. Detroit second baseman Gleyber Torres will lead off for the AL, followed by Tigers left fielder Riley Greene, New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh, Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr,. Baltimore designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn, Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero, Tigers center fielder Javy Báez and Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson. Ohtani led off for the AL in the 2021 All-Star Game, when the two-way sensation also was the AL's starting pitcher. He hit leadoff in 2022, then was the No. 2 hitter hitter for the AL in 2023 and for the NL last year after leaving the Los Angeles Angels for the Dodgers. Skenes and Skubal are 1-2 in average four-seam fastball velocity among those with 1,500 or more pitches this season, Skenes at 98.2 mph and Skubal at 97.6 mph, according to MLB Statcast. A 23-year-old right-hander, Skenes is 4-8 despite a major league-best 2.01 ERA for the Pirates, who are last in the NL Central. The 2024 NL Rookie of the Year has 131 strikeouts and 30 walks in 131 innings. Skubal, a 28-year-old left-hander, is the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner. He is 10-3 with a 2.23 ERA, striking out 153 and walking 16 in 121 innings. ___ AP MLB:
