Trade candidate Suarez continues homer binge

Trade candidate Suarez continues homer binge

    Suarez hit two homers against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday and again Sunday.

    The All-Star third baseman is also the third D-backs player to hit seven homers over a six-game span, joining Reggie Sanders (2001) and J.D. Martinez (2017). He’s the first to accomplish the feat in the big leagues since Aaron Judge in 2024.

    Suarez — who is a free agent this offseason — has long been considered one of the top sluggers for prospective teams looking to add a power bat at the deadline.

    But it’s unclear whether the D-backs will be willing to trade Suarez since they are on the fringe of playoff contention with a 50-51 record.
