**Riding a hot streak after sweeping the Giants, New York looks to continue its dominance against the Padres.** 


The New York Mets travel down the California coast with momentum on their side, having just completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants. Now, they aim for a season-high eight consecutive wins as they face off against the San Diego Padres in the first game of a series at Petco Park on Monday night.

The matchup marks the beginning of six meetings between these two teams, with a three-game set scheduled for later in the season at Citi Field from September 16th to 18th.

## Yankees Trade Shifts Focus to Reds in Eugenio Suárez Sweepstakes

**Cincinnati Could Land Power Bat with Pitching Depth as Leverage**


The New York Yankees' acquisition of third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies removes them from contention for Eugenio Suárez, redirecting attention toward the Cincinnati Reds. 

With the infield hole filled by prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz heading to Colorado, the Reds now emerge as a potential landing spot for Suárez in trade talks.  Experts are buzzing about the possibility of a reunion between Suárez and his former team.

The Reds currently rank 18th in MLB with 107 home runs this season, highlighting their need for a proven power hitter. Jim Bowden of The Athletic proposes a bold move to address this need, suggesting a trade that would see Suárez return to the Queen City.


“The Reds have the pitching to make the playoffs as a wild-card team but lack that one power hitter to get them there," Bowden wrote. "Acquiring Suárez would be a game-changer for their lineup and drastically improve their chances of playing in October.” 

Bowden's hypothetical deal outlines the following exchange:


**Reds Receive:**
* 3B Eugenio Suárez (currently with Arizona)

**Diamondbacks Receive:**
* 3B Cam Collier, RHP Chase Petty, LHP Adam Serwinoski

Suárez is enjoying a stellar season, slashing .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and a league-leading 86 RBIs. Only Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, and Shohei Ohtani have hit more home runs this year, and Suárez is set to become a free agent after the season.  

In return, Arizona would acquire three high-upside prospects. Petty, 22, boasts a fastball that reaches 100 mph; he holds a 4.14 ERA over 15 Triple-A starts with some MLB exposure this season. Serwinoski has accumulated 86 strikeouts in 70 High-A innings. Collier, 20, already sports a .299/.422/.414 slash line in the minors. He was the MVP of last year's Futures Game and is considered the centerpiece of this potential return package.

With the Yankees committed to McMahon, the Reds could be well-positioned to acquire Suárez at the right price. Their pitching depth and clear need for a power bat create a compelling scenario for a deal to materialize.

## Yankees Consider Trading Top Prospect Amid Pitching Woes

**New York Seeks to Bolster Staff Before Deadline**

The New York Yankees are looking to make a splash before the MLB trade deadline, with their eyes set on bolstering a pitching staff struggling to keep pace with the potent offense.  Despite holding the first American League Wild Card spot and sitting in second place in their division, the team's ERA ranks in the bottom half of the league, raising concerns about their postseason potential.

"The New York Yankees are open to trading prized outfield prospect Spencer Jones, rival GMs say," reported USA Today's Bob Nightengale. This unexpected move comes as a surprise considering Jones' impressive performance.

**Prospect Powerhouse Faces Logjam in Outfield**

Drafted in the first round of 2022, the 24-year-old is tearing it up in the minors.  Since his promotion to Triple-A, Jones boasts a scorching .400/.457/1.407 slash line with an impressive 13 home runs. While he possesses undeniable power from the left side of the plate, finding consistent playing time in New York's crowded outfield presents a challenge.


**Trading for Pitching: A Necessity?**

The team's abundance of talented outfielders, including Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Jasson Domínguez, could make Jones an attractive trade asset.  With pitching as the clear priority, the Yankees are reportedly willing to part with Jones in exchange for a proven arm before the trade deadline.


Will this move be enough to propel the Yankees to another deep playoff run? Only time will tell.
