One of the several teams with some level of interest in Suárez are the Philadelphia Phillies, who have spoken to Arizona, as Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Arizona Diamondbacks got the trade deadline party started on Thursday night when they dealt 2024 All-Star Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners for two pitching prospects.

"It's baseball," Naylor said. "It's the business side of it."

The New York Yankees pulled themselves out of the running for Eugenio Suárez, and now Jon Heyman believes the Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners are the leaders.

An absence of powerhouse teams has left this trade deadline feeling as uncertain as ever a week out.

At least six contending teams have contacted the Diamondbacks with interest in Suárez, according to major-league sources.
