Phillies, Diamondbacks have discussed Eugenio Suarez trade
Digest more
Less than a week before the trade deadline, there are two types of conversations between teams: exploratory and substantive. This might still fall into the first category. But the Phillies have talked to the Diamondbacks about Eugenio Suárez.

Here are the six most likely trade destinations for Suárez, and the prospect packages it could take for each of those teams to land him.
BOTTOM LINE: The Houston Astros seek to build upon a three-game win streak with a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona has a 50-52 record overall and a 26-27 record at home. The Diamondbacks have the fifth-ranked team batting average in the NL at .253.
Entering Wednesday, his 36 home runs on the year were tied for the National League lead until Shohei Ohtani mashed a homer for the fifth straight game. Still, Suárez is on a heater as one of the best power hitters in baseball. He trails only Cal Raleigh (39) and Ohtani (37) in home runs and leads the MLB in RBIs with 86.
If the Yankees can't afford the Diamondbacks slugger, they might go to Plan B, and open the door for the Tigers.
The Chicago Cubs are looking to win the National League Central this season and are interested in Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez to do so.
