Third baseman Eugenio Suarez is in his second season with the Arizona Diamondbacks after making his big-league debut in 2014. The 33-year-old right-handed power bat established himself as an offensive threat during his seven-year tenure with the Cincinnati Reds, where he made his first All-Star team in 2018 and smashed 189 home runs in 916 games.
Fairbanks isn’t quite the same pitcher he was in 2023, when he struck out 68 in 45 innings. His strikeout rate has dropped, but he still keeps the ball on the ground and limits barrels as well as anyone. The Rays hold a team option for 2026, so they won’t feel pressured to deal him unless the return is strong.
