Eugenio Suárez

The Braves made a couple of moves this past season with the Reds, and I would be surprised if Suárez’s name didn’t get tossed around a bit during 2018 trade talks.

Suárez is developing into one of the top third basemen in the National League, and has been doing so in a very quiet and under-the-radar manner.

Does Johan Camargo need to be replaced? No. Camargo has proven he is a valuable enough player to fill a starting position, and the Braves need to utilize that. Camargo provides consistent offensive output and has made many gold glove caliber plays at 3rd base all season long.

Acquiring Suárez is an alternative route the Braves could take if they are willing to move Camargo to the outfield, or might even be interested in trading him (which I really doubt will happen).

I personally think Johan Camargo has the ability to develop into something like a Jose Ramirez caliber player. That is something the Braves need to keep around, whether it is at 3rd base or another position.

Suárez reached the 30 HR and 100 RBI mark before the end of the 2018 season, and has compiled a WAR over 4. He also has positive defensive runs saved for the season and for his career.

2018 was the first time Suarez was an all star; one of many all star selections to come. And there’s a chance some of those All Star selections could be in a Braves uniform.
