Jerry Dipoto has a longstanding reputation for jump-starting the Trade Deadline market, and the Mariners’ president of baseball operations indeed sparked this year’s traction, with the first major domino falling to Seattle on Thursday night.

On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners acquired Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, likely taking them out of the Eugenio Suarez sweepstakes. Multiple teams, including the Tigers, could emerge as serious suitors for Suarez before the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

The latest turn in the MLB trade market saw the Yankees get a third baseman, which could help the Seattle Mariners' push to land Eugenio Suárez.

The Mariners made one of the first moves of trade season when they acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks earlier this week, and with a 55-49 record that puts them firmly in playoff contention.

Though the move is a position upgrade for Seattle, it isn’t ideal for Naylor’s fantasy value — he was hitting .324 with five homers, 36 RBIs and a .855 OPS at Chase Field. Since 2021, Naylor hit a homer roughly once every 24 at-bats — including a career-high 31 last year with Cleveland when he hit one every 18 at-bats.

One of the Mariners most interesting prospects is starting to heat up for the organization's High-A Everett AquaSox. Entering Saturday, outfielder Tai Peete had a home run in two straight games and three homers in his last four games. His last two home runs have both been three-run shots. He's hit five home runs in July.

The Seattle Mariners are open to trading versatile Gold Glove winner Dylan Moore, according to a report. Moore has struggled recently.
