The Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks have already linked up on one trade this year. There could be another one brewing in the shadows.

The Seattle Mariners are one step closer to getting Eugenio Suarez. That's because on Friday, the New York Yankees completed a trade for a different third baseman. Colorado's Ryan McMahon is going to the Bronx. Suarez now has one less suitor.

However, according to USA Today’s MLB expert Bob Nightengale, the Mariners aren’t done after trading for Naylor. Now, they’re also “aggressively pursuing” All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who’s widely expected to be traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The New York Yankees, who were reported to have interest in Eugenio Suarez, pivoted and acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies.

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 remain focused on reuniting with Eugenio Suárez after landing Josh Naylor in a major trade with the Diamondbacks.

Suarez, on the back of an All-Star selection, is one of the hottest names on the market. With an eye-catching 36 home runs, good for second place in the National League, and 87 RBI, a bountiful number of MLB contenders are fighting for his services.

Don't think that the Seattle Mariners' trade Thursday night for one Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star rules them out for acquiring another.

As news of former Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor being traded to the Seattle Mariners begins to die down, fans continue to raise questions.
