The Chicago Cubs' interest in trading for Eugenio Suárez of the Arizona Diamondbacks is likely very similar to why they wanted Alex Bregman before the season started. The front office believes that Matt Shaw is the long-term answer at third base (his post-All-Star break heater helps), but Suárez represents an opportunity for the Cubs to not leave an unknown up to chance.
In many ways, Suárez's market will define the MLB trade deadline. While the Cubs, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers have been mentioned the most as teams interested in the All-Star third baseman, the list also includes the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners.
