Yardbarker on MSNReport: Mariners to stay in the mix for Eugenio Suarez despite recent tradeSuarez, on the back of an All-Star selection, is one of the hottest names on the market. With an eye-catching 36 home runs, good for second place in the National League, and 87 RBI, a bountiful number of MLB contenders are fighting for his services.
The latest turn in the MLB trade market saw the Yankees get a third baseman, which could help the Seattle Mariners' push to land Eugenio Suárez.
Jerry DiPoto signaled that the Mariners intended to be buyers this summer, with a 1.5-game lead in the race for a Wild Card spot and one of the best and deepest rotations in baseball. The only thing that was missing was a little more offense — particularly at first and third base, where Donovan Solano and Ben Williamson weren't going to be enough.
The New York Yankees pulled themselves out of the running for Eugenio Suárez, and now Jon Heyman believes the Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners are the leaders.
The club continued what is expected to be a considerable sell-off at the MLB trade deadline by sending outfielder Randal Grichuk to the Kansas City Royals, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. Reportedly going back to the D-backs is relief prospect Andrew Hoffman.
Ahead of the MLB trade deadline, there are plenty of rumors regarding the D-Backs' Eugenio Suarez, and the Phillies are in on him.
The Cincinnati Reds (53-50), now at two games back of the third National League Wild Card spot entering play of July 25, haven't made a move yet. It remains to be seen if and how the Reds might involve themselves in the trade-deadline activity.
The Seattle Mariners have already added a star first baseman to their roster. Could they also swing a franchise-altering move for MacKenzie Gore?
