With the Arizona Diamondbacks losing in a three-game sweep against the Houston Astros, teams are calling to see if they would be looking to be sellers now, and the Chicago Cubs might be a team that could acquire him.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of teams looking to make a trade for him, and Jim Bowden of The Athletic came up with some scenarios where he could land and threw out some ideas on how the Cubs could get him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Cubs should be able to land Su\u00e1rez in a straight-up deal for pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins, who was a second-round pick in 2023,\u201d Bowden wrote. \u201cThe right-hander has dominated at High A and Double A this season, posting a 2.02 ERA in 14 appearances (13 starts). He has 78 strikeouts and only 33 hits allowed over 62 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be quite a return for two months of Su\u00e1rez. The Diamondbacks\u2019 biggest need is starting pitching, so it would be difficult for them to turn down that offer. The Cubs could offer outfield prospect Kevin Alc\u00e1ntara first to see if they bite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlc\u00e1ntara, 23, has slashed .264\/.349\/.457 this season with 11 homers and nine steals in Triple A. The Cubs match up well with the D-Backs on a Su\u00e1rez deal due to their strong farm system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs are fighting with the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL Central lead, and they&#8217;re going to do whatever they can to fill some holes on their team.<\/p>\n<p>Suarez has been playing some good baseball this season, and he could help any team that he goes on. He also knows that he may be on the trade block, and he&#8217;s noted that he wouldn&#8217;t mind going to the Detroit Tigers, the team where he started his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo finish where everything started, it would be cool,\u201d Suarez said via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.\u00a0\u201cIt would mean a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It would not be a surprise to see Suarez on a different team in the coming days, and it may be the Cubs.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eugenio Suarez has been in constant trade rumors, and the Cubs could be a team to go after him before the deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[282,2188,44,48,272,2488],"class_list":["post-71047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-eugenio-suarez","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-rumors","tag-mlb-trade-deadline","tag-non-yahoo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MLB rumors: Cubs could make &#039;straight-up&#039;
