Eugenio Suárez at Center of Trade Deadline Rumors, Reunion with Reds Considered a 'Long Shot'

Eugenio Suárez, a 34-year-old impending free agent, is a prominent name as the MLB trade deadline approaches. The Cincinnati Reds have engaged in discussions with the Arizona Diamondbacks regarding a potential reunion with Suárez, though sources indicate the chances of a deal are categorized as 'a long shot.' Suárez, currently hitting .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and 18 additional extra-base hits, has contributed an estimated 3.4 Wins Above Replacement this season, making him arguably the most sought-after bat on the trade market. The Diamondbacks, despite being 5 ½ games out of a wild-card spot, are reportedly open to selling ahead of the July 31st deadline.
