The New York Yankees are in need of a third baseman, but they are not the only team with a need in the hot corner. Eugenio Suárez is the best third baseman available, but the Yankees may not win the sweepstakes for him.

Only about $5 million remains on Suárez’ contract, and the Cubs can easily fit that in. Jed Hoyer has already gone on record as saying finances should not be an issue in improving this team. Given those conditions (taking all the money and that Suárez is a rental), what would it take to get him from the Diamondbacks?

It was late June last year and the Diamondbacks were in Philadelphia for a series with the Phillies when manager Torey Lovullo called third baseman Eugenio Suárez into his office for a talk.
