DETROIT -- Eugenio Suárez still remembers June 7, 2014, the day he got his first MLB hit and first MLB homer with one swing of the bat against Boston Red Sox starter Jon Lester. Suárez was 22 years old, a shortstop then, wearing the Old English D at Comerica Park.

If they acquire Eugenio Suarez, the Chicago Cubs might fix their hot corner problem—and become the NL Central favorites.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.
