Seattle Wins The MLB Trade Deadline By Adding Big Bat Suarez

The Seattle Mariners stepped up big. The Mariners have agreed to a trade with Arizona that will return slugger Eugenio Suarez to the Northwest, according to reports, a deal that both teams seemed compelled to make with the major league trade deadline in sight. The Mariners, tied with the Texas Rangers for the third and final AL wild card spot, looked to strengthen an offense that was 12th in the majors in runs despite Cal Raleigh's MVP-type season as they make a run for their first playoff berth in three seasons, and second since 2001. Third baseman Suarez was the biggest bat on the market. He has 36 homers this season and will complement catcher Raleigh in the middle of the order. Raleigh leads the majors with 41 homers, and he and Suarez are tied for the lead in RBIs with 87. The Mariners' lineup now ranks among the strongest in the majors — with leadoff man J.P. Crawford followed in some order by Julio Rodriguez, Raleigh, Suarez, Randy Arozarena and another former D-Back, first baseman Josh Naylor. The Mariners acquired Naylor on July 24 as the Diamondbacks began to offload their slew of top-tier potential free agents after beginning a free-fall that has stretched to eight losses in nine games. They are a season-low seven games below .500. Arizona, which was built for this season and was operating with a franchise-record $187 million payroll, was swept by the Detroit Tigers hours before the Suarez trade and is nine games behind the San Diego Padres for the third NL wild card spot with five teams to pass. As their playoff chances decreased to 1.6 percent per FanGraphs, the Diamondbacks faced the reality that moving Suarez was necessary. They received first baseman Tyler Locklear and minor league right-handed relievers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos for Suarez. Suarez with hit by a pitch in his right hand in the ninth inning of a 5-1 loss to Detroit on Monday and was forced to leave the game, leading some to wonder if potential trading partners would have second thoughts. X-rays were negative, and Suarez returned to the lineup with a double in four plate appearances Wednesday. Mariners' Major Moves Come With History The deal is the biggest in Jerry Dipoto's 10 seasons as the Mariners' president of baseball operations, and it came almost two years after he was criticized inside and out for standing pat at the 2023 deadline, when the Mariners were in the playoff hunt. They won 88 games but finished one game behind Toronto for the final wild card spot. Raleigh was among those expressing frustration the day the Mariners were eliminated, although the sides cleared the air and Raleigh signed a six-year, $105 million free agent deal late in spring training. "We've got to commit to winning,' Raleigh said at the time. 'We have to commit to going and getting those players. You see other teams going out, going for it, getting big-time pitchers, getting big-time hitters. We have to do that to keep up.' The Mariners did just that with Suarez, who is playing on an expiring contract that will pay him $15 million this season. He will be a free agent this winter, but the trade was about now for the Mariners. Suarez had 53 homers and 183 RBIs in two seasons with Seattle before being sent to the Diamondbacks for pitcher Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala, a trade that looks dreadful in hindsight. Only Vargas remains. Suarez was on the Mariners' 2022 playoff team that beat Toronto in the wild card but was swept by AL West champion Houston in the division series. The Astros lead the West by five games over the Mariners and Rangers now. Where Do the Diamondbacks Go From Here? Arizona general manager Mike Hazen seemingly acquired his first baseman of the future in right-handed-hitting Locklear, who has 19 homers and 82 RBIs in his first full season at Triple-A Tacoma this year after 16 homers and 67 RBIs at two minor league stops in 2024. He was the Mariners' second-round pick in the 2022 draft and was ranked the No. 9 prospect in the Seattle organization by MLB Pipeline. Cranton and Burgos were ranked Nos. 16-17. A hole at third base remains with the loss of Suarez, although top prospect Jordan Lawlar is the logical candidate to step in. Hazen may be forced to trade 'walk year' starters Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen by Thursday's deadline. Kelly, who is 9-6 with a 3.22 ERA, is having the better year, but at 36 is seven years older than Gallen. 'This is this is not the position I anticipated us being in,' Hazen told reporters after trading Naylor. 'At some point, I have to take a step back from what I want to do and focus on what the what the greater good for the organization is.' Kelly and Gallen have expressed a desire to stay, but the economics work against that. If they remain with the D-Backs through the season, both would become free agents and could be tendered a qualifying offer over the winter. That qualifying offer was $21.05 million last winter. The D-Backs may not be in a position to reach that high. They have $102 million committed to nine players in 2026, including the $30.9 million owed injured right-hander Corbin Burnes, who is expected to miss most if not all of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June. Kelly, who has played under club-friendly terms in his seven seasons in Arizona, seems likely to test the market.

Eugenio Suarez trade corrects a Mariners mistake. Can he lead Seattle to World Series?

PHOENIX — The Seattle Mariners, who made the painful mistake of trading third baseman Eugenio Suarez two years ago to the Arizona Diamondbacks only to watch him become one of the game's premier power hitters, swallowed their pride Wednesday night and traded for him back. Suarez, who has 36 homers and 87 RBIs, becomes the first player in baseball history to hit at least 35 homers before he was traded in-season. 'Super excited, it's a great move,'' Mariners MVP candidate Cal Raleigh told reporters after their game Wednesday night. 'He's pretty much everything you look for in a teammate. He's supportive. Super nice. Keeps it light in the room. Always positive. And you add on to that, he's a great player. 'We saw that when he was here the first time, and we were obviously all sad that he left, but we're happy that he's coming back …. Very, very excited for it. Obviously, we know how great a guy he is, how great he's playing this year. Great, great add.' It was the second deal the Mariners and Diamondbacks made in a week with the D-backs also trading first baseman Josh Naylor to Seattle for two pitching prospects. Now, they sent his corner infield teammate to provide the Mariners much-needed power to reach the postseason for only the second time since 2001 after near-misses the last two years. The Mariners, fortunate that the market for Suarez never materialized the way the Diamondbacks envisioned, were able to pull off the deal without touching any of their prized prospects. The cost was first baseman Tyler Locklear, their ninth-best prospect, who leads all Triple-A hitters with 16 homers and 56 RBIs since June 1; and minor-league pitchers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos, their 16th- and 17th-ranked prospects, respectively. Just like that, they now have a team built to win their first World Series championship in franchise history. The Mariners (57-52) are five games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West, and are tied with the Texas Rangers for the third and final wild-card berth. Yet, with their star-studded rotation of Logan Gilbert, Bryan Woo, George Kirby, Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller, they can scare the living daylights out of any team in the postseason. And now, they finally have the power they have long coveted, with Suarez hitting 53 home runs over the past year, trailing only Shohei Ohtani (60 homers) and Aaron Judge (58). Raleigh (41 homers) and Suarez (36) make the Mariners the second team in MLB history to enter August with at least two players having at least 35 homers, joining the 1961 Yankees who had Roger Maris (40) and Mickey Mantle (39). The Mariners now have one of the deepest and most-talented lineups in the American League, rectifying the blunder they made two years ago when they traded Suarez. The Mariners thought his career was in a steep decline after the 2023 season, which saw him hit .232 with 22 homers, 96 RBIs and a league-leading 214 strikeouts. The Mariners sent him to Arizona, receiving only minor-league reliever Carlos Vargas and backup catcher Seby Zavala, while saving about $11 million in salary. It looked like a shrewd move when Suarez was struggling so badly — hitting just .193 — that the Diamondbacks considered designating him for assignment in late June 2024. He instead caught fire, hitting .307 with 20 homers and a .942 OPS in the second half, and never cooled off. Now, all the Mariners need is for Suarez to stay hot for three more months, their starting pitching to stay healthy, maybe grab one more late-inning reliever by Thursday's trade deadline, and take the franchise on a magical ride to its first World Series. It has been a long time coming, but now the Mariners have the lineup, the pitching, and the burning desire to pull it off. They've saved prized prospects long enough. Now, it's time for a parade.
