As the July 31 trade deadline nears, teams assess their rosters and potential trades. Suarez emerges as a highly sought-after player with 36 home runs and strong hitting ability. Teams like the Detroit Tigers may look to acquire him to enhance their offense, particularly at third base, where they have struggled. Other teams, including the Yankees and Mariners, also face challenges at third base, which could prompt trades, even if the trade market lacks prior pizzazz.
Suarez is not only the hottest hitter who might be traded -- he has 36 home runs if you haven't been paying attention -- but looks like the best player available, barring a blockbuster deal for a pitcher such as Joe Ryan or MacKenzie Gore.
The Detroit Tigers are near the bottom of the majors in offensive production at third, although Zach McKinstry has been playing there of late and was an All-Star. The front office might be looking to add an impact bat such as Suarez and return McKinstry to a utility role.
