If the New York Yankees want Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez, it sounds like they'll need to give up more than expected.
Speaking on MLB Network Radio’s “Power Alley,” Bowden floated the idea of the Yankees trading for Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen before the deadline. Gallen hasn’t had a great year, but Bowden sees potential and hr thinks Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake might be the key to unlocking it. “This could be a nice project for Matt Blake,” Bowden said.
"The Yankees also need starting pitcher help, and the Diamondbacks have two pitchers — Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly — that could be moved at the deadline. The Yankees will package one of them with Suarez to complete what will be the biggest blockbuster of the deadline as New York competes with the Blue Jays for the American League East crown."
