Eugenio Suárez‘s future remains unclear as the Arizona Diamondbacks assess their situation over the next month. With the trade deadline approaching in about a month, the team needs to consider its options to make the postseason. They will decide if they are buyers, sellers, or both, and Suárez could be offered in a trade.
Diamondbacks Weighing Eugenio Suárez’s Future in Arizona
Displayed Moments
Despite the feisty National League competition, the team remains confident and optimistic about its chances of staying in the playoff race. Lately, they have displayed moments of good play and comeback wins. A strong June with a 14-9 record has kept them in contention, even through all their injuries.
Stout Offensive Numbers
A stout offense, with Suárez playing a significant role, has been a key factor in this team staying around .500. He has 25 home runs and 67 RBI in 2025. He has won Player of the Week three times this season. In fact, since June of last year, he has hit 49 home runs and 137 RBI.

Trade Discussions
Recent reports indicate that Suárez is being mentioned in potential trade discussions. A proposed trade scenario consists of sending him to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for two top-15 prospects. Additionally, the New York Yankees have emerged as a team that could consider acquiring him.
Case for Trading
A case can be made for a trade involving Suárez. The third baseman turns 34 in July and is in the final year of his contract. The Diamondbacks need to consider that. Top prospect Jordan Lawlar could step into Suárez’s third base spot. While Lawlar has labored and looked lost in his brief stint with the big-league club, his success in the minors indicates he is close to making an impact.
Case for Keeping
The Diamondbacks must also consider the benefits of retaining him. Lawlar was just placed on the IL and could miss a significant amount of time. That could be a deciding factor in keeping Suárez. Also, the contributions and influences that he brings extend beyond his offense. His presence in the clubhouse fosters a positive environment for all his teammates and the coaching staff alike. Furthermore, having experience in a playoff push is something else he can offer.
Wants to Strengthen
General Manager Mike Hazen mentioned that the team aims to strengthen the roster rather than dismantle it. On the other hand, a lot depends on how the team performs in July leading up to the trade deadline. Where the team sits mid to late July, strengthening the roster would best be accomplished by a bit of a dismantle.
Looking Ahead
The quandary facing the Diamondbacks will be a challenging one. While trading away Suárez for promising prospects could benefit this team, it’s worth noting that the team’s current roster is already strong. Trading him away, you run the risk of sacrificing his contributions both on and off the field. Ultimately, the organization has some thought-provoking decisions to make. If the team continues to perform well, they may choose to keep Suárez for a playoff push. They could even be involved in trading for players to help them in the postseason. Equally, if their performance wanes, trading Suárez and other veterans could become a significant move to invest in the team’s future by obtaining prospects. Bottom line, Eugenio Suárez’s future with the Diamondbacks remains unclear and could remain so up to the trade deadline.
