CINCINNATI —

With Major League Baseball’s trade deadline approaching in one week, a familiar face could be on his way back to Cincinnati.

On Wednesday night, The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans reported that All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez has been discussed in trade talks between the Cincinnati Reds and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Suárez, 34, made the National League All-Star team earlier this month, leads MLB with 86 RBIs and is second in the NL in home runs (36) behind only Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani (37).

Now in his second season with the Diamondbacks, Suárez became a household name during his time with the Reds from 2015-21.

Across seven seasons with the Reds, the Venezuelan third baseman hit 189 home runs – including 49 in 2019 – and was an All-Star in 2018. The Reds traded the third baseman to the Seattle Mariners before the 2022 season.

Suárez has a propensity to strike out often, but if the Reds and Diamondbacks were to connect on a trade for the infielder, his bat would give the Reds a legitimate power threat around All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz.

Due to his strong performance this season and his contract set to expire at the conclusion of the 2025 campaign, Suárez is expected to be among the most sought-after hitters on the trade market at this deadline.

MLB.com insider Mark Feinsand confirmed Wednesday that the Reds and Diamondbacks have discussed Suárez, but said the deal remains a “long shot.”

The Reds and Diamondbacks have indeed discussed Eugenio Suarez, but sources called it “a long shot” that a deal comes together. Arizona is shopping Suarez, Josh Naylor, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, according to sources, as all are on expiring contracts.
