Rymer proposed a hypothetical swap in which the Brewers would ship right-handed pitcher Logan Henderson, who made his major league debut this season and ranks as one of the top overall prospects in the Milwaukee organization, to Arizona for Suárez.

Suarez has emerged as the premier player who could put a contender over the hump as they chase a World Series title.
