The smoke connecting the New York Yankees to slugging All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez seems to get thicker every day. Even the Diamondbacks' weekend sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals to kick off the second half, vaulting Arizona back to .500, couldn't make it dissipate.
As we know by now, though, Brian Cashman loves to one-stop shop, and Arizona has plenty to offer to fill the Yankees' other substantial holes. Starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly will be appealing to all contenders, but could be excellent right-handed complements to Carlos Rodón and Max Fried in New York.
