On Monday, we wrote about how an Eugenio Suárez reunion with the Seattle Mariners was more unlikely than ever following Alex Bregman's decision to sign a five-year, $175 million contract with the Chicago Cubs. As MLB Network insider Jon Morosi previously advised last week on Seattle Sports, Suárez has been comfortable waiting all offseason to see how things play out and now Bregman has his deal, the two-time All-Star is in a stronger bargaining position.
This subsequently seems to be curtains for any hopes the Mariners have of bringing back the fan favorite to Seattle for the coming season, with their previously reported stance of only being prepared to offer him two years and around $30 million.
