ATLANTA — The Yankees’ top target for third base should be as obvious as their need. It <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/14/sports/eugenio-suarez-compliments-yankees-while-leaving-door-open-to-trade/">has to be Diamondbacks All-Star Eugenio Suárez</a>, who’s having perhaps his best year at age 33.&nbsp;

Suárez leads the National League in RBIs with 78, and his 31 home runs are one behind NL leader Shohei Ohtani.&nbsp;

The Yankees’ struggles with left-handers despite having perennial MVP leader Aaron Judge and Hall of Fame-bound Giancarlo Stanton are also obvious. Although Suárez is hitting right-handers and left-handers about equally this year (.885 OPS vs. lefties, .896 vs. righties), in his career he has an .856 mark vs. lefties and .787 vs. righties.&nbsp;
