The Chicago Cubs are actively seeking a third baseman as the trade deadline approaches. With Matt Shaw struggling to secure the position and his recent performance leading to benching, the Cubs might consider bolstering their roster. Their lead in the National League Central has dwindled to just one game, emphasizing the need for an impact player. Reports suggest that the Cubs could target Eugenio Suárez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, who has proven to be a versatile asset this season, boasting 29 home runs and an All-Star selection.

Suárez is currently on a $15 million club option and will be a free agent after the season. If the Diamondbacks determine their season is lost, they may view Suárez as a valuable trade piece. Acquiring him could not only enhance the Cubs' lineup but also help mask some of their pitching struggles.
