Eugenio Suarez Receives Update After Yankees-Rockies Trade

However, on Friday it became clear that Suarez will not be headed to the Yankees. It has been reported by several MLB insiders, including Jeff Passan of ESPN, that New York is instead acquiring Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon.

"The New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sources confirm to ESPN," Passan began. "The deal, which is in its final stages, gives the Yankees the left-handed bat they were seeking and fills the gaping hole they had at third base."

This trade provides a substantial update for Suarez, who now at least knows he will not be headed to the Yankees.

"The Yankees had strong interest in Diamondbacks 3B Eugenio Suarez, but McMahon is under contract through 2027 at $16 million a year in 2026 and 2027," Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote on X. "Suarez is a free agent in three months."

Jared Carrabis of Underdog added, "Eugenio Suárez, you are NOT a New York Yankee."

The Yankees have now been crossed off this list, but the market for Suarez remains robust.
