The New York Yankees are preparing for the MLB Trade Deadline, needing to improve their team after a disappointing season in 2024. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has shifted back to second base, leaving third base vulnerable due to injuries. Current players at third base have shown poor performance. The Yankees are searching for a suitable candidate, with Eugenio Suárez being a top target due to his stellar offensive stats. However, acquiring him will likely require trading valuable prospects like George Lombard Jr. or Spencer Jones, both of whom are seen as significant assets for the team's future.
The Yankees have their work cut out for them as they bid to return to the World Series after suffering Fall Classic heartbreak at the hands of the Dodgers in 2024.
It was better to have Jazz's bat at a position where he could actually excel rather than fill in.
With Oswaldo Cabrera out for the season, it did open up third base to a very light-hitting combination of former top prospect Oswald Peraza and rookie Jorbit Vivas.
ESPN recently ranked Suárez as the top player on the trade market this year though, so he won't come cheap - especially with the hot corner a hot commodity among team needs.
