Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez, who has hit a whopping 36 homers this season, is the hot name on the rumor mill. The Yankees are certainly interested— and have inquired —in bringing in his services, but they reportedly have a backup plan in the works.

According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Yankees are interested in Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon. However, the team sees McMahon as a backup plan to trying to trade for Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez.

The New York Yankees are already a World Series favorite in the American League, the fifth-ranked offense in Major League Baseball, with a team batting average of .258 and a captain in Aaron Judge with 35 home runs at the All-Star break.
