Overview

• The Diamondbacks traded Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners for five top-20 prospects on July 31.
• Industry analysts say rental hitters like Suárez and Naylor typically command modest returns, pointing to the absence of a top-eight prospect in the package.
• Suárez’s hand injury was cleared by MRI and CT scans; he is day-to-day and expected to be available for Seattle’s playoff push.
• Arizona, hovering in the NL West basement, continues to pivot toward rebuilding by trading off veterans ahead of free agency.
• The Mariners, in contention in the AL West, add a middle-of-order bat to bolster their lineup and chase a wild-card berth.
