MLB rumors: 4 teams emerge as frontrunners for Eugenio Suarez trade
As the rumors swirl around Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday evening, there is no doubt that many are considering the star to be the most coveted slugger on the market. Though Suarez suffered a hand injury, it hasn't hurt his stock as the latest report suggests the teams that are in the running for the 34-year-old.
MLB insider Mark Feinsand took to social media to label the four ball clubs who 'are considered the primary teams' to be in the running for Suarez. It seems that the final four teams that are gunning for Suarez are the Seattle Mariners, the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Tigers, and the Philadelphia Phillies.
'The market for Eugenio Suárez is beginning to shape up with less than 30 hours until the Trade Deadline,' Feinsand wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'Per sources, the Mariners, Cubs, Tigers, and Phillies are considered the primary teams in the race for the All-Star third baseman.'
Major interest in Eugenio Suarez around the league
As teams have discussed Suarez in a potential deal ahead of Thursday, the teams listed by Feinsand do fall in line with previous reports. Looking at the Tigers, Tony Paul reports on social media that Arizona had a scout out to watch their Double-A team.
'The Diamondbacks had a scout in Erie, home of the #Tigers Double-A affiliate, all week long, I'm hearing,' Paul wrote on X. 'Now, also worth noting, Erie was playing the #Yankees affiliate. Both DET and NYY have had interest in Eugenio Suarez. Yankees seemingly passed on a steep asking price.'
Another MLB insider in Jon Heyman, would also mention Seattle and Chicago as being two teams that 'have been in it all along' in regards to having major interest in Suarez, per Bleacher Report.
'I still think it's probably– I'm gonna guess the Mariners or the Cubs,' Heyman said. 'Those two teams have been in it all along… I think both teams have prospects to get it done. So I think one of those two is probably the most likely.'
It remains to be seen where Suarez ends up, but it will be soon as the trade deadline is on Thursday evening.

Sinner lukewarm on expanded Cincinnati format
Jannik Sinner on Wednesday gave tepid approval to the 12-day jumbo version of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters while confessing that he would actually prefer to keep the event to the usual one week length. The world number one will be defending his title at the final big event prior to the August 24 start of the US Open. Extending the ongoing Canada event - and Cincinnati - to 12 days with 96-player draws also means that WTA and ATP events in Canada will stage unorthodox finals on Thursday while play is beginning in Cincinnati. Sinner said that given the choice he would opt for the classic system of one-week events for an increasingly crowded calendar. "We (top players) cannot control everything," the Italian said. "The fans now have two weekends to hopefully watch some good tennis. "That is exactly what we need in this sport." But the Wimbledon champion who skipped Canada to rest after his triumph two weeks earlier in the final at the All England Club over Carlos Alcaraz added: "I would prefer a one-week event, it's something that I like. "But it's OK, I'm here and I'm very happy." Other top 10 players, including Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur, have also complained in recent days about the wholesale calendar rewrite which has the enthusiastic endorsement of the ATP and WTA. Sinner said that he enjoyed his time away from the courts, spending time at home with family and friends. "Then it was back to practice to try and get as ready as possible for the US swing." He said Wimbledon, where he beat Alcaraz after losing to the Spaniard at Roland Garros, "felt very, very special." str/bb
