ATLANTA - As the Yankees reconvene at Truist Park, there are several key 2025 dates to circle on the pinstriped calendar. With 66 games to play, the Yankees (53-43) are two games back in the AL East, two games ahead in the AL wild card standings and they resume the 2025 season with a six-game road trip beginning Friday night.

An American League scout who knows the Yankees well discusses their first half and suggests two summer blockbuster trades that could get them back in the World Series in a revealing Q&A.

It's looking more and more like the Arizona Diamondbacks are going to be sellers at the MLB Trade Deadline on July 31. Their starting third baseman, Eugenio Suarez, is one of their biggest chips they have to sell this season.

The rumor mill did not need any extra grease. Talk about the New York Yankees potentially trading for Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez had already been buzzing for months. But the All-Star Break provided the discussion with a couple shots of adrenaline.

White Sox pitcher Shane Smith hit Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suarez with a pitch. It caught Suarez on the bottom of his left hand, smashing into his ring and pinky finger, a classic finger-breaking hit by pitch. Suarez needed to be examined by the trainer but eventually stayed in the game.
