Suárez Set to Leave Mariners?
1 Jan
Summary
- Eugenio Suárez may leave the Mariners in free agency.
- Diamondbacks are favored to sign Suárez to a 3-year deal.
- Arizona could afford Suárez, unlike the Mariners' payroll.
Eugenio Suárez's future with the Seattle Mariners is uncertain as he enters free agency. Despite a recent successful playoff run, Suárez remains unsigned, with speculation mounting that he will sign with a new team. A prominent prediction suggests a three-year deal worth $70 million with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team where he could seamlessly fit into their lineup.
The Mariners' financial priorities and long-term vision may preclude them from offering Suárez a contract of that magnitude, especially after a significant deal for Josh Naylor. This approach suggests Seattle is building for sustained success. In contrast, the Diamondbacks are in a win-now mode and could view Suárez as a key acquisition to bolster their chances in the competitive National League West.
Such a move would align with Arizona's current aspirations, potentially helping them challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers. The familiarity Suárez has with the Diamondbacks organization and their ballpark also makes this potential reunion a logical fit for both parties involved.
