Yankees Stall in Pursuit of Eugenio Suárez as Mariners Take Lead

Late July developments show the Yankees have held no substantive talks with Arizona and are now exploring other third-base and pitching packages involving top prospects.

ATLANTA, GA - JULY 21: Sean Murphy #12 of the Atlanta Braves bats in the seventh inning against the San Francisco Giants at Truist Park on July 21, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.
ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 27: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves hits a single during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park on June 27, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.
ATLANTA, GA - APRIL 21: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves hits a home run in the first inning against the Texas Rangers at Truist Park on April 21, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Overview

  • General manager Brian Cashman publicly emphasized the need for an infielder, but YES Network’s Jack Curry confirms New York has not engaged in meaningful negotiations with the Diamondbacks for Suárez.
  • Eugenio Suárez remains the market’s premier third-base target after leading the National League with 36 home runs and topping MLB with 86 RBIs.
  • The Seattle Mariners are regarded as the frontrunners to reunite with Suárez, leveraging the slugger’s Pacific Northwest ties and deeper farm-system assets.
  • New York is weighing alternative trade scenarios that could include prospects such as Cam Schlittler and Everson Pereira to bolster both its hot corner and its rotation or bullpen.
  • With the July 31 trade deadline approaching, the Yankees face rising urgency to upgrade the lineup while safeguarding their prized minor-league talent.
