I know that the Cubs’ major need before the trade deadline is a quality starting pitcher, perhaps two. But today I want to talk about improving the offense.
Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez has made a career out of demolishing Cubs pitching.
He’s hit 36 home runs (of his career total of 307 against the Cubs, including five this year. Four of those came in the first three games of his season back in March at Chase Field. The 36 homers is the most for any active player against the Cubs (ahead of Paul Goldschmidt and Andrew McCutchen, who both have 32).
