This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/diamondbacks as Report: Yankees Back Off Potential Trade for D-backs' Eugenio Suárez. Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez likely won't be heading to the Bronx after the Yankees made a trade for former Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon on Friday.

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.

Fried was among a trio of Yankees pitchers who sang Suárez’s praises as the July 31 trade deadline nears.
