Mariners trade Eugenio Suarez to Diamondbacks, sources confirm

The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired Eugenio Suarez in a trade with the Seattle Mariners, sources confirmed to ESPN, filling their vacancy at third base and adding some much-needed power to their lineup.

The Mariners will receive right-hander Carlos Vargas and veteran catcher Seby Zavala for Suarez, who has belted at least 21 home runs in each of the last seven full seasons.

The reigning National League champion Diamondbacks were in need of a third baseman when three-time All-Star Evan Longoria became a free agent earlier this month.
