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.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner, with contending teams deciding what they need to add before 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31.

For New York, removing Seattle from the Suarez sweepstakes clears one runway—but also increases visible competition. The Yankees have generally avoided overpaying for external help; trading top prospects or assuming long-term risk doesn’t fit their current Blue-Chip Avoidance Strategy.

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.

Grosz has spent the entire 2025 season at high A, posting a 4.14 ERA with 94 strikeouts in 85 innings and holding batters to a .211 average. He has a high-spin fastball that sits in the mid-90s, but the secondary stuff needs improvement, and the command is a tick below average (35 walks).

“The New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirm to ESPN,” Passan began. “The deal, which is in its final stages, gives the Yankees the left-handed bat they were seeking and fills the gaping hole they had at third base.”

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

The Chicago Cubs won't have to engage in a heavyweight fight at the MLB Trade Deadline for Eugenio Suarez anymore. Make no mistake, there are still other teams
