It should not come as a surprise that the Houston Astros have recently shown a strong interest in slugging Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez.

The Houston Astros are looking to make a deadline splash based on recent reporting. But, it's trending towards not the position they've been linked to for some time. Instead, they are pursuing a third baseman amid Issac Paredes' injury.

Suarez was out of Arizona’s lineup Tuesday, but The Post’s Jon Heyman reported that it “sounds like he’s day to day” with the injury. The news is a breath of fresh air for the Diamondbacks, who are exploring moving Suarez, one of the top bats on the market, ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
