A Twins utilityman might make more sense than Arizona's third baseman, plus notes on other deadline options and Cam Smith's recent slide.

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.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez is the hottest name in baseball as the trade deadline approaches, set for 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31.
