Bob Nightengale just dropped the bomb: “The Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees are the most aggressive teams pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez.” That’s not just trade noise — that’s headline drama.
The Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees are the most aggressive teams pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks All Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez, with a handful of others still in pursuit.
Suárez is raking with 36 home runs and 86 RBIs, leading the Diamondbacks in power production.
The D-backs are slipping in the standings, sitting around .500 and open for business. Suárez is on the block, and both Seattle and New York are circling.
Seattle’s familiar ground. Suárez played there recently, and their front office has already had contact with Arizona.
So where do the Yankees stand? Reports say the front office hasn’t had “substantive” talks yet. Sounds like we’re trailing again. Typical Yankees these days. All talk, no bite.
Yankees vs Mariners: Who Wants It More?
Seattle has the edge. They’ve got the farm pieces, the familiarity, and a more urgent offensive need. Meanwhile, the Yankees are doing their classic move — lurking, waiting, letting others make the first move and hoping to swoop in last second.
The problem? Suárez’s glove isn’t exactly gold-standard. Yankees brass reportedly don’t love his defensive metrics. And let’s not forget — he’s an expiring contract. Around $15 million left. If they’re serious, they better act fast.
Plan B?
If Suárez drifts to Seattle, the Yankees might pivot. Ryan McMahon from the Rockies? Sure, more years of control. But also more money. Ke’Bryan Hayes? Maybe. Or worse — we stick with Peraza, Jorbit Vivas, and pray.
This Front Office Better Wake Up
This is a litmus test. Another moment to see if Hal and Cashman are serious about 2025. Are we going all-in or sitting back again, waiting for a miracle?
Because if Suárez ends up in Seattle — and we get left holding another “we tried” press conference — fans won’t be buying it. Not this time.
