Let's debunk the ridiculous MLB trade deadline narrative that the Miami Marlins will actually trade for Arizona Diamondbacks star Eugenio Suarez.
The Tigers acquired right-handers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak from the Minnesota Twins on Monday, July 28 — just three days before the MLB trade deadline, which is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31. Although Paddack becomes a free agent after 2025, Dobnak has team options for 2026, 2027 and 2028.
The 27-year-old Cabrera has unique stuff: a change-up that can top out at 96 miles per hour and 98th percentile breaking ball run value. He's now got a 3.35 ERA in 18 starts this season, tracking for his best year yet in the majors.
Eugenio Suarez is having a great season at the plate, and there are some playoff contenders that could use a bat like his in the lineup. The Marlins are not of those teams. Miami could make a surprise run to the postseason, but it's unlikely. Still, there is a chance that they trade for Suarez.

If Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara makes his scheduled road start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night, he will have the full attention of contending teams seeking pitching help.
Bednar broke a two-month streak of not allowing an earned run on Monday night, but still picked up his 17th save of the season. Meanwhile, Santana owns a 1.39 ERA and minuscule 0.84 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings.
The Yankees first priorities at the deadline will be pitchers, specifically a starter and some relievers, to make up for injury losses this season. The team have already traded for two infielders: third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals.
