UPDATE: Eugenio Suarez is on fire! The Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman smashed his fifth home run in just three games during a thrilling matchup against the Houston Astros on Monday night. This powerful solo shot adds to his impressive tally of 36 homers, leading the National League as the July 31 trade deadline looms closer.
Just earlier today, Suarez was honored as the NL Player of the Week for the fourth time this season, solidifying his status as one of baseball’s most sought-after bats. His recent performance includes two home runs against the St. Louis Cardinals on both Saturday and Sunday, showcasing his remarkable power surge.
Suarez’s achievement is historic; he becomes the third player in Diamondbacks history to hit seven homers in a six-game span, joining legends Reggie Sanders (2001) and J.D. Martinez (2017). Notably, he is the first player in Major League Baseball to reach this milestone since Aaron Judge in 2024.
The 34-year-old slugger is set to become a free agent this offseason, raising questions about whether the Diamondbacks will trade their star player as they hover on the brink of playoff contention with a 50-50 record. This uncertainty adds an extra layer of excitement as teams eye potential acquisitions before the trade deadline.
As the days count down to July 31, all eyes will be on Suarez. Will the Diamondbacks keep him in hopes of a playoff run, or will they capitalize on his skyrocketing value? The stakes are high, and fans are eager to see how this developing story unfolds.
Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping saga as the trade deadline approaches!
