The Arizona Diamondbacks' acquisition of Eugenio Suarez from the Seattle Mariners is set to significantly bolster their third base production. Suarez, renowned for his big power and exceptional performance against the Giants, is expected to thrive in a hitter's park. The Mariners, who received Carlos Vargas and Seby Zavala in the trade, are speculated to make further moves to bolster their offense, with Luis Urías already lined up for third base. Despite Suarez's acquisition, Arizona's payroll remains $10M under the 2023 limit, providing financial flexibility for potential future moves. Suarez's contract stipulates an $11 million payout in 2024, a $15 million team option in 2015, and a $2 million buyout.
#Dbacks just got better. 3B Suarez is a perfect fit. Big power coming to a hitter’s park. Owed $11M in 2024 with a $15M team option in 2015 that has a $2M buyout.

Eugenio Suarez is heading to Arizona. 🤝 https://t.co/aTaLWw2hFl https://t.co/TysIjXAiEs
Curious move by Seattle. Surely the #Mariners are hoping they get the 2022 version of Seby Zavala going forward. In 205 PA he slashed .270/.347/.382 w/a 110 wRC+; 1.9 fWAR. That's a lot of value from a backup C. Similar tact to the Urias deal. Has to be another shoe to drop.
Eugenio Suarez, now a Diamondback, against the Giants (163 PA): .278/.331/.563 [11 HR, 10 2B, 5-1 K-BB] ... gdi
Mariners likely will play newly acquired Luis Urías at third base. Will continue search for offense with loss of Suarez.
Quick reactions on the trade: AZ still needs another hitter, but Suárez is a good start and solidifies 3B; payroll is still $10M under 2023's and they have that playoff money Don't get what SEA is doing here... do they make a play for Candelario now?
Really like the Eugenio Suarez trade for the Dbacks. That team desperately needed some production out of 3B
D-Backs get Suarez to fill 3B for righty Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala
Hearing the same, @RyanDivish with it first. Mariners sending Geno Suarez to the Dbacks for RHP Carlos Vargas and C Seby Zavala.
