Eugenio Suárez, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ third baseman, appears to be a prime candidate for a trade leading up to the July 31 deadline. He expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of returning to the Detroit Tigers, where he began his Major League Baseball career in 2014. “To finish where everything started, it would be cool,” Suárez noted, highlighting the emotional significance of such a move.
Having played 85 games for the Tigers before being traded to the Cincinnati Reds, Suárez has developed into one of baseball’s top power hitters, amassing 307 home runs in his 12-year career. This season alone, he has hit 31 home runs and leads the National League with 78 RBIs, making him a valuable asset for teams seeking to bolster their lineups.
The Tigers currently hold the best record in Major League Baseball as they approach the All-Star break and could significantly benefit from Suárez’s offensive capabilities. He believes he would align well with a roster that features standout players, including Tarik Skubal, whom he regards as “the best pitcher in the league right now.” Suárez expressed confidence in the Tigers’ potential for a championship run this season.
As Suárez approaches free agency at season’s end, his future remains a topic of discussion, with a possible reunion with Detroit looking increasingly appealing. This situation not only shows Suárez’s desire for a return to his roots, but it also reflects the Tigers’ ambitions to build a competitive team for the postseason.
Suárez’s story resonates with hope and the possibility of fulfilling dreams, as both he and the Tigers strive for success in the current season.
