Diamondbacks receiving strong trade interest in Eugenio Suarez, Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen

The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro spoke with Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen, who said: “Do I think there’s a chance we make more trades? Yes, I do. I think there’s going to be enough interest that we probably will have to look at — think long and hard about what we’re doing. I just don’t know the extent to which that’s going to happen and how many that’s going to be.”

Piecoro wrote: "He said interest in his veterans on expiring deals — namely right-handers Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen and third baseman Eugenio Suarez — has been strong, though he admitted his group has not yet focused its attention on those players."

Zac Gallen trade: Did pitcher make final start for Arizona Diamondbacks?

DBacks pitcher Zac Gallen said after the July 27 loss to Pittsburgh Pirates that he hopes he remains with the Diamondbacks, but if he is traded, he will already remember his time in Arizona.

“I think about it like this is the place I grew up,” Gallen told reporters. “The place where I laid roots. The place I met my soon-to-be wife. Arizona means a lot to me. They took a shot on me coming out of Miami. When that trade went down, I think people were kind of like, ‘Who’s that? What’s going on?’”

Gallen's name continues to swirl in trade rumors as a potential veteran starter addition to a contender at the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

Merrill Kelly trade: Did pitcher make final start for Arizona Diamondbacks?

Arizona pitcher Merrill Kelly pondered his future after the July 26 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“There’s definitely been thoughts all day that this one could be the last one in a DBacks uniform — at least for now,” Kelly told reporters after giving up two runs (one earned) in a loss at PNC Park. “I’m never going to rule out that this is the last one ever, just with how much this team means to me and how much home and the Valley mean to me and my family.”

Kelly's name continues to be included in trade speculation as a potential addition to the rotation for an MLB playoff contender.

“These guys know where I stand on being a Diamondback,” Kelly said. “Obviously, I understand the nature of the beast and the business aspect of it. The idea of — if I do get traded and if I do go somewhere — playing for a team that’s contending right now and has a good chance of going to the playoffs and going to the World Series, at this point in my career, I’m open to that, of course. I don’t know how many more years I have left. Hopefully, enough. At this point in my career, I think anything can happen, so the chance to win is obviously in the forefront of my mind.

“That all being said, I love being here. I have always loved being here. I would always be open to being a snake moving forward.”

Could Merrill Kelly be the next Arizona Diamondbacks player traded before the 2025 MLB trade deadline?

Eugenio Suarez 'almost certain' to be traded by Diamondbacks

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported that third baseman Eugenio Suarez is "almost certain" to be traded by the Diamondbacks before the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

Which MLB team needs to trade for Eugenio Suarez the most?

Eugenio Suarez continues to gather a lot of MLB trade interest with the Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs among potential suitors.

MLB.com recently ranked the suitors for Suarez by who needs to trade for him the most and led the list off with the Phillies. The Milwaukee Brewers were second on the list, followed by the Mariners, Cubs and Cincinnati Reds.

Thomas Harrigan wrote: "Why are the Phillies atop this list? Because when you look at the way this roster is constructed, arguably no team is under more pressure to win now than Philadelphia. The Phillies got close with a World Series appearance in 2022, but they’ve taken a step back since then. Bryce Harper, Zack Wheeler, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos and Aaron Nola are all signed beyond 2025, but each is 32 or older. So are Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto, both of whom are in the final year of their contracts. ( Ranger Suárez, who will turn 30 on Aug. 26, is a pending free agent as well.)"
