Strategic Exchange

The agreement involves the transfer to Arizona of three promising prospects: first baseman Tyler Locklear (ninth in Seattle’s ranking), right-handed pitcher Hunter Cranton (16), and also Dominican right-handed pitcher Juan Burgos (17).

A renowned batter returns

Eugenio Suárez, 33, returns to Seattle after his time with the Mariners between 2022 and 2023. This season, he has demonstrated his power with 36 home runs, establishing himself as one of the most outstanding hitters in Major League Baseball. His performance has earned him four Player of the Week awards in the National League and his second All-Star Game selection. On April 26th of this year, Suarez made history by becoming the 19th player to hit four home runs in a single game, achieving this feat against the Atlanta Braves.

Resurgence and Adaptation

Suárez’s career has been remarkable. After a complicated start to the season, his performance transformed drastically. Since June 26 of last year, his offense improved significantly, with a line of .311/.359/.607, which led Arizona to exercise its option of 17 million dollars for the 2025 season. Although his defensive metrics have shown a slight decline this year, his previous numbers support his value as a regular third baseman.

Foreign Exchange Market Context

This move comes in a context of intense activity on the Trade Deadline, where several teams are looking to reinforce themselves. The Diamondbacks have also made recent moves, including the transfer of Josh Naylor to Seattle and Randal Grichuk to Kansas City. Seattle, currently in a postseason position, strengthens its lineup for the season finale, while Arizona bets on young talent for its renovation project.
