The New York Yankees had the opportunity to continue a big business for the first bat on the commercial block, Eugenio Suárez, but chose to acquire Ryan McMahon and Amed Rosario instead.
After that, Suárez was exchanged from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday evening. With the slugger heading to his old team, there are a few teams, including the Yankees, who could let kicks in the behind so as not to make a move.
John Buhler de Fandeded recently suggested that the Yankees would regret to pass Suárez on the deadline.

“New York Yankees must be the most frustrating team in baseball. I swear that the love / hatred relationship of their fans base with this team is like no other in MLB today,” wrote Buhler. “In fact, they cannot all endure the skipper Aaron Boone, who really holds them. The same applies to the longtime general manager Brian Cashman. And despite everything, the Al East can obtain three teams in the playoffs in October.
“Although I do not know if Suarez would have been the right choice for what the Yankees need, he goes to another competitor of the American League in Seattle, constitutes a threat to New York. In addition, you are in a difficult battle for three teams in the division with Toronto and Boston. Since the Yankees won the American league last year, global would be a disappointment. “
The addition of Suárez would have been an incredible decision for the Yankees. This would have brought a big bat to knock alongside Aaron judge, Cody Bellinger, and the other bronx sluggers.
But it would have been a very expensive business. The Yankees may have been able to re-signate Suárez as a free agency, which could have returned to injure them if they lost it during the offseason.
Obviously, the lack of trade hurts now, but it should not do or break the Yankees season.
Now, if the Bronx bombers do not add tuning before the deadline, this could be the highlight in the coffin of their hopes of the World Series.
