Today is a good day to think back to July 31, 2025, when the Seattle Mariners went all-in on "Good Vibes Only" for the rest of their season.
That was the day they closed a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks to bring Eugenio Suárez back to the Pacific Northwest. The trade felt like a lot of things all at once, but particularly like a righting of a wrong and the proper start of something truly special. The salary dump that landed "Geno" in Arizona in the first place was a thing of the past, and his bat figured to propel the Mariners from a strong 58-52 start to an even stronger finish.
