NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 19: Mark Vientos #27 of the New York Mets hits an RBI single during the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field on July 19, 2025 in the Queens borough of New York City.

Overview

  • Eugenio Suárez is MLB’s top trade candidate with ESPN insiders assigning him a 90 percent chance of being dealt.
  • Beyond Suárez, the Diamondbacks are evaluating bids for pitchers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen and first baseman Josh Naylor as they approach free agency.
  • Contenders from New York to San Francisco have scouted Arizona’s corner bat and rotation help, with the Yankees and Mets leading the charge for Suárez.
  • Milwaukee is preparing secondary infield options like Ryan O’Hearn and Josh Naylor to upgrade first base without entering a bidding war over Suárez.
  • Arizona’s urgency is driven by next-season surgeries for key arms and Triple-A’s Jordan Lawlar being ready to step in at third base.
