Multiple teams are reportedly interested in Arizona Diamondbacks slugger and third baseman Eugenio Suarez.<\/p>\n

According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees are among those inquiring<\/a> about Suarez ahead of the MLB trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Seattle Times\u2019 Adam Jude adds<\/a> Suarez is the No. 1 priority for the Mariners and would prefer the third baseman over D-backs first baseman Josh Naylor, who has also been floated in trade rumors.<\/p>\n

The interest in Suarez continues to grow after opening up the second half of the season on an absolute tear.<\/p>\n

After roping a pair of home runs in back-to-back games in a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, Suarez added another bomb in Monday\u2019s loss to the Houston Astros. <\/p>\n

Across the past three games, the third baseman has tallied five home runs, eight RBIs and five runs scored. He slashed .455\/.538\/1.818 with a 2.357 OPS during that span.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s playing like Nintendo, it\u2019s just unbelievable,\u201d skipper Torey Lovullo told reporters after Monday\u2019s loss. \u201cYou can\u2019t imagine the feeling in the dugout. \u2026 I\u2019m amazed by what he does every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

His return to play, which earned him NL Player of the Week honors<\/a>, now has Suarez in the MLB lead for RBIs (86) and tied for second in home runs (35) behind only Seattle\u2019s Cal Raleigh.<\/p>\n

But while he\u2019s focused on winning games in Arizona, Suarez will be a name to watch as the deadline closes in.<\/p>\n

Arizona losing its series opener against Houston and falling back below to .500 certainly doesn\u2019t help quiet the noise surrounding the slugger.<\/p>\n

Diamondbacks fielding trade calls on Eugenio Suarez, others<\/p>\n

Suarez is getting most of the attention with the deadline right around the corner, with ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel pegging him as the No. 1 trade candidate.<\/a><\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t the only Diamondback being talked about, though, with starters Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly firmly in the discussion even if the former has underperformed this year.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Jesse Rogers writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Diamondbacks are getting as many calls \u2014 if not more \u2014 about Zac Gallen as they are for Merrill Kelly, even though the latter starting pitcher is having the better season. Teams interested in adding to their rotations still have more faith in the 29-year-old Gallen than the 36-year-old Kelly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Across 21 starts this season (121 innings pitched), Gallen is posting a career worst 5.58 ERA and 1.372 WHIP. He\u2019s 7-11.<\/p>\n

Despite appearing to have turned a corner at the beginning of July, Gallen has since regressed, allowing six earned runs in each of his past two starts. Arizona lost both those games.<\/p>\n

Kelly, meanwhile, has been Arizona\u2019s best starting option this year behind a 3.32 ERA and 1.057 WHIP in 21 starts (122 innings pitched). He\u2019s 9-5.<\/p>\n
