There was a collective scare across Major League Baseball on Monday night when Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez took a fastball off his right index finger. Suárez had X-rays completed after the game, and the results were negative, confirming there was no fracture for the veteran infielder. With the MLB trade deadline approaching, Suárez remains the top rental bat available, and the Chicago Cubs are near the top of the list of potential suitors.
ESPN insider Jeff Passan, in true Jeff Passan fashion, was responding to questions on Threads last night and revealed that Suárez to the Cubs may just be the outcome at the deadline.
