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.

Less than a week before the trade deadline, there are two types of conversations between teams: exploratory and substantive. This might still fall into the first category. But the Phillies have talked to the Diamondbacks about Eugenio Suárez.
