Reaction | Arizona Diamondbacks trade of Eugenio Suárez to the Seattle Mariners

not just the player, but the guy and how he is sort of revered in in multiple clubouses across Major League Baseball for just being a really good dude. And so that’s that’s a that’s a good reputation to have when when you’re a baseball player like that and you’ve got many former places talking nice about you, it’s a good sign of the guy. So I’m happy for Gino. Um, I really really felt bad for him a couple nights ago when he unleashed that primal scream after flying out because you could just see him start to wear all of this or something something was wearing him down. So, I wish him the best. It’s It’s a shame that this guy couldn’t have been a four or five year player in Arizona, but this this was a move they had to make. Yeah, it was. And we’ll get into the return a little bit, but he represents a gigantic offensive upgrade for a team that needs it. I mean, Cal Raleigh is putting up ridiculous numbers. 41 home runs, 87 runs batted in at this point. Um, he’s really represented the lone threat. I mean, Randy Rosen has got 21 home runs. Julio Rodriguez has got 19. He’s kind of leveled out as uh you know, he’s a good player, but I don’t think he’s reached superstar status like people expected him to. Suarez gives them, in my opinion, a twofold bump because not only is he improving their their lineup, you put him in two guys with 87 runs batted in in the same lineup now. But you mentioned it, the vibes, he’s comfortable there, he knows a lot of those players. He played with them for two years. Um, and look, if you’re a Diamondbacks fan that was hoping, okay, trade Suarez and then bring him back next year, probably not going to happen now because he’s going back to a place where he already played and loves him and we’ve talked about this. I think this is the Dbacks moving on from Gino Suarez, too. We’re good. You know what? Tip of the cap. He was fantastic
