New information is coming out about why the New York Yankees reached a deal for Ryan McMahon, and not Eugenio Suarez.

Yankees may have clearer path to Eugenio Suarez after Josh Naylor trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

With only six days to go until Thursday's deadline, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez has emerged as the top projected target for the Yankees -- which makes sense, considering he has 36 home runs, only one fewer than New York superstar Aaron Judge.

Eugenio Suarez’s defense may be the messy little secret in Yankees’ trade talks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Eugenio Suarez still has power. That much is clear. "He's been a really good power hitter in the league for a long time," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Monday night's game.

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. That probably won't be the last time the D-backs make news before the July 31 deadline.

The New York Yankees were presumed as the favorites to trade for third baseman Eugenio Suarez. But the Yanks went a different direction at the hot corner on Friday, landing Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies.
