Eugenio Suárez predictably got hot after nobody acquired him at the trade deadline

Eugenio Suárez remained with the Cincinnati Reds after failing to attract trade interest at the August 3rd deadline, despite an injury-plagued season that included an oblique strain and poor defensive performance. Since the deadline passed, Suárez has produced at an elite level over 30 games, posting a .889 OPS with 7 home runs and 23 RBIs while drawing 33 walks against 19 strikeouts. The Reds' overall record has not improved during this stretch, remaining five games below .500 from August 3rd through early September. Suárez's late-season surge suggests that teams may have missed an opportunity to acquire the power-hitting third baseman on a relatively inexpensive contract.
