The Arizona Diamondbacks are aiming high for the rest of 2024, with hopes of defending their National League title and making a deep playoff run once again.
Since the All-Star break, the D-backs have been on fire, boasting a 17-5 record. Third baseman Eugenio Suarez has been instrumental in this success, hitting seven home runs with a .957 OPS since July 19.
While Suarez has been a key player for Arizona, his contract is coming to an end this season, and it is likely that the team will decline their option for 2025. This could open the door for the Diamondbacks to pursue Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros in free agency.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has suggested that Arizona could be a top landing spot for Bregman, who despite not having his best season, still offers strong offensive numbers compared to Suarez. Bregman, a former All-Star and MVP runner-up, has the potential to be a game-changer for the Diamondbacks.
As the offseason approaches, the question remains whether Bregman will choose to stay in Houston or explore new opportunities with teams like the Diamondbacks. The baseball world will be watching closely as these storylines unfold.
