Eugenio Suárez is identified as the Mariners' top potential trade target, although his availability is uncertain as the D-backs pursue an NL Wild Card spot. Alternative interest is directed toward Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon. While McMahon lacks Suárez's power, he offers youth, defensive skills, and a contract extending over two more seasons. Recent performance shows improvement, with a batting line of .249/.333/.478 post-May 1, plus strong home/road splits, yet caution remains due to high strikeout rates.
McMahon has been particularly hot of late, hitting in six straight games and batting .345/.406/.848 with four homers and two doubles across his past eight contests.
His 11.2% walk rate is strong, though a 29.7% strikeout rate in that span and a lengthy history of sub-par contact skills does present one concern.
