Both the American League and National League finalists for the 2025 Silver Slugger Awards have been announced, and despite leading all third baseman with 49 home runs and 118 RBI this season, former Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez was not among those to make the cut.
Geno also ranked second in slugging percentage (.526) behind Tampa Bay Rays star Junior Caminero and third in OPS (.824).
In any other year, these numbers would've been more than enough to not only be mentioned among the Silver Slugger Award finalists, but perhaps even win the award. Unfortunately for Suárez, he was traded midway through the 2025 season — from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Seattle Mariners — and that's where things get tricky.
