Cubs circling former Reds fan-favorite who slipped away at last year's trade deadline

Former Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suárez has had an odd career, interspersing some bad seasons between a number of home run frenzies. He just pulled one of the greatest disappearing acts of his career, going from an All-Star-level first half with the Arizona Diamondbacks to a below-the-Mendoza-line performance in the second half with the Seattle Mariners.

Still, Suárez should be one of the most popular names on the free-agent market, thanks to the second 49-homer campaign of his career. He may struggle to continuously be the player who hit .253/.335/.476 during seven seasons with the Reds, but he can still change the game with one swing as often as anyone else in the sport.
