Overview

  • Arizona has added All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez, starters Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, and first baseman Josh Naylor to its available-veteran list as it shifts toward selling mode.
  • Suárez’s 31 home runs, .886 OPS and $15 million club option make him a low-risk, high-impact rental for playoff contenders.
  • The Tigers view Suárez as a veteran power boost who would not block top prospect Jace Jung and are prepared to offer elite prospects in a trade package.
  • Milwaukee believes its surplus of young arms—potentially including Carlos Rodríguez—gives it leverage to outbid other suitors and address its third-base deficiency.
  • New York faces a glaring vacancy at third base and is exploring offers that could involve adding rental pitchers like Gallen or Kelly to sweeten a deal for Suárez.
