Overview

• The Diamondbacks, slipping out of contention in the NL West, are looking to trade Suárez before the July 31 deadline to restock their farm system.
• The Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners have taken the lead in trade talks after the Yankees exited the market by acquiring Ryan McMahon.
• The Philadelphia Phillies have joined substantive negotiations but face a third-base logjam once Alec Bohm returns from his fractured rib.
• Suárez is batting .249 with a .587 slugging percentage, ranking first in MLB with 36 home runs and 86 RBIs through late July.
• His $15 million salary for 2025 and impending free-agency status have driven up the prospect cost teams must offer.
