The New York Yankees opted out of a potential Eugenio Suárez blockbuster deal and the Arizona Diamondbacks eventually traded him to the Seattle Mariners.

"Trade talks between the Yankees and Diamondbacks over Eugenio Suárez stalled after Arizona asked for a MLB player, an upper-level prospect (AA/AAA), and at least one lower-level prospect, per industry sources," Romero wrote in a post on X/Twitter.

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.
