As the Seattle Mariners look for an edge in the tight wild card race in the American League, a reunion with Eugenio Suárez remains a possibility leading up to Thursday's trade deadline.

Being the favorite to land Suarez is huge news. The Arizona Diamondbacks' All-Star third baseman is considered the top bat available to be had before the deadline. Suarez has hit 36 home runs this season, and he has more than 300 in his career. He's a legitimate middle-of-the-order slugger.

As the MLB Trade Deadline approaches, the Seattle Mariners have emerged as front-runners to acquire Arizona Diamondbacks’ third baseman Eugenio Suarez, heightening the drama around one of the season’s hottest trade targets.
