Overview
- Seattle reunited with third baseman Eugenio Suárez from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for three minor leaguers, correcting a 2023 trade that president Jerry Dipoto later called a mistake.
- Suárez arrives tied for the Major League lead with 87 RBIs and has smashed 36 home runs this season, injecting potent power into the Mariners’ lineup.
- Earlier this week, the Mariners added slugging first baseman Josh Naylor and veteran left-hander Caleb Ferguson to shore up their offense and bullpen depth.
- President Jerry Dipoto hailed the revamped roster as the best lineup of his tenure and said the club deserved the chance to win a championship.
- The Mariners hold a Wild Card position but remain five games behind the Astros in the AL West as they pursue a first-ever World Series trip.
