The Seattle Mariners are one of many teams sniffing around Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez at the trade deadline.

Industry sources say the Mariners and Diamondbacks have engaged in preliminary discussions about Eugenio Suarez, a candidate for the National League MVP.

The Chicago Cubs appear to be doing just that: According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Jed Hoyer and Co. "could have interest" in the Colorado Rockies third baseman, with an eye toward pairing him with the righty-hitting Matt Shaw to form a platoon that winds up being greater than the sum of its parts.
