Yankees clear Mariners' way to Eugenio Suárez by taking Plan B off the board

The Seattle Mariners kicked off the trade deadline with a huge move to acquire Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks last week. The deal had been rumored for quite some time, given Seattle's need for corner infield help and Arizona's less-than-ideal playoff chances.

While the move is significant in its own right, Seattle probably isn't done just yet. Third base remains a weakness in the lineup and although the Mariners have reportedly been interested in a reunion with Eugenio Suárez, they aren't the only interested party. The Yankees were another potential suitor, but they've now taken themselves out of the running, recently coming to terms with the Colorado Rockies to acquire Ryan McMahon.
