Mariners Explore Pitching Trades, Eyeing Reunion with Suarez
20 Jul
Summary
- Mariners interested in reuniting with 3B Eugenio Suarez
- Mariners have top farm system, can make deals without depleting prospects
- Mariners could trade pitchers Emerson Hancock or Logan Evans to Diamondbacks
The Seattle Mariners are currently exploring trade options ahead of the upcoming MLB trade deadline, and one of their top priorities is a reunion with third baseman Eugenio Suarez. The Mariners, who have a deep farm system, are in a strong position to make a deal without having to dip too heavily into their prospect pool.
One potential trade scenario the Mariners are considering involves sending either pitcher Emerson Hancock or Logan Evans to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks, who have lost several key pitchers to Tommy John surgery, are reportedly seeking pitching in return for any players they move at the deadline. Both Hancock and Evans have shown promise for the Mariners this season, and the Diamondbacks may view them as enticing trade targets, as they are major league-ready starters with several years of team control remaining.
While the Mariners will likely still need to include some of their top prospects to complete a deal, the possibility of trading Hancock or Evans could help facilitate a trade for Suarez or another key player without completely depleting their farm system. The Mariners are in a strong position to make a splash at the deadline as they look to bolster their roster for a potential playoff push.
