The Arizona Diamondbacks traded slugging third baseman Eugenio Suárez to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported. The Mariners later confirmed the deal on social media.

Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto believes Seattle acquired the "best bats" available, adding power to a lineup that already ranks fifth in the majors in home runs.

With a wide-open race in the American League, the Mariners made three trades over the past week, culminating with the return of fan favorite Eugenio Suárez.
