Top landing spots for Eugenio Suarez at MLB trade deadline

Seattle Mariners

The Mariners are the only team out of the top contenders that Suarez has been with before. In the 2022 and 2023 seasons that Suarez spent in Seattle, he tallied 267 hits and 53 home runs in 312 games.

The Mariners have rookie Ben Williamson at third base currently, who holds a .259 batting average with one home run and 19 RBI. It certainly wouldn't be a bad idea for Seattle to target a veteran who seems to be at the height of his career, and who's already spent time in the organization.

A move to Seattle would also mean that Cal Raleigh, who has 38 home runs, and Suarez with 36, will play for the same team.

Watch out, pitchers.

Chicago Cubs

The Cubs are also leaning on a rookie third baseman in Matt Shaw, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a veteran who's on a tear. The Cubs will likely look into as many options as they can to compete in a riveting division race against the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers, who have won 11 games in a row and hold a one-game lead over Chicago.

Chicago ranks dead last in OPS from the third base position, so it's safe to say it will look to make a change at the third base position, whether it's Suarez or not.

The Cubs will likely have to give up Shaw in order to acquire Suarez. A deal to Chicago might be the best fit right now for the both teams, but it'll come down to the Cubs' willingness to give up the potential that sits with Shaw, who was once a No. 5 prospect in the organization.

On the flip side, it's important for Chicago to have a "win now" mentality in the midst of a heated race against the Brewers and potential for a deep playoff run.
