When the news broke that the Seattle Mariners were acquiring slugging first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, my first thought was pretty simple. 'Well, that takes them out of the Eugenio Suarez sweepstakes. Good news for the Chicago Cubs.'
Sources: Eugenio Suárez is still Seattle’s top priority and being aggressively pursued by the Mariners following this first domino dropping with the club acquiring Josh Naylor.

According to MLB.com's Daniel Kramer, the Mariners are still very much in the hunt for Suarez, who is enjoying a monster year in Arizona, leading the National League with 86 RBI and trailing only Shohei Ohtani in home runs, with 36 on the year.
