Mariners Reuniting with Eugenio Suárez in Diamondbacks Trade
The Seattle Mariners have been making moves this offseason to strengthen their roster, and on Wednesday night, they added another key piece. According to sources confirmed by The Seattle Times, the Mariners are finalizing a deal to acquire third baseman Eugenio Suárez from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Adding Offensive Firepower
Suárez is known for his power at the plate, having hit 49 home runs in the 2019 season. His offensive production will be a valuable addition to the Mariners lineup, which already boasts sluggers such as Mitch Haniger and Kyle Seager. With Suárez's presence, the Mariners will have a formidable trio in the heart of their batting order.
Reuniting with Old Teammate
Suárez previously played for the Mariners in 2014 before being traded to the Cincinnati Reds. This trade will reunite him with former teammate and fellow Venezuelan, Robinson Canó. The two have remained close friends and their chemistry on the field will undoubtedly benefit the Mariners. Canó's experience and leadership will also be valuable for Suárez as he settles into his new team.
