Arizona’s front office signaled readiness to move expiring contracts with final deals expected on deadline day.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JULY 20: Merrill Kelly #29 of the Arizona Diamondbacks delivers a first inning pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals at Chase Field on July 20, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Overview

  • One offer under review would send five Yankees prospects including Cam Schlittler to Arizona in exchange for third baseman Eugenio Suárez, starter Merrill Kelly and reliever Jalen Beeks.
  • A separate proposal targets left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez in return for prospect Chase Hampton and another pitching prospect.
  • Suárez leads the National League with 35 home runs and 85 RBIs, a power upgrade for New York’s lineup.
  • Rodríguez has posted a 5.94 ERA with 90 strikeouts over 80.1 innings this season, underscoring his risk-reward profile.
  • Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen has said he is ready to sell veteran assets but is likely to wait until the July 31 deadline to maximize trade returns.
