Entering Wednesday, his 36 home runs on the year were tied for the National League lead until Shohei Ohtani mashed a homer for the fifth straight game. Still, Suárez is on a heater as one of the best power hitters in baseball. He trails only Cal Raleigh (39) and Ohtani (37) in home runs and leads the MLB in RBIs with 86.

The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans reports that the Reds have contacted Arizona to express their interest. They join a list of interested teams including the Yankees, Cubs, Mariners and Tigers. It'd be a reunion for Suarez in Cincinnati. They traded him in 2022 to Seattle.

The Chicago Cubs don't necessarily need to be active ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline to feel good about their World Series chances.
