Eugenio Suarez Receives Update After Yankees-Rockies Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees have been in the market for a third baseman almost all season. After Oswaldo Cabrera went down with a season-ending leg injury, the Yankees were left searching for answers at the hot corner.

The Yankees’ first hurdle to acquiring Eugenio Suárez will be the Diamondbacks actually deciding to sell. Then comes the stiffer

The New York Yankees' acquisition of third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies came as a bit of a surprise after they were previously linked to another star slugger.

Suárez's current hot streak combined with the scarcity of impact bats available will embolden Arizona to ask for a king's ransom in return for his services. The Yankees could probably manage to hold on to George Lombard Jr. but they would be required to gut the remainder of their farm system to rent Suárez for a few months.

The New York Yankees need a third baseman at the trade deadline, and Eugenio Suárez figures to be most teams' top target at the deadline.

The Yankees can’t say they’re interested in trading for the Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez — that would be tampering — but manager Aaron Boone admitted he’s paying attention a scorching-hot right-handed slugger who led the National League with 35 homers and 85 RBIs through Sunday.
