Eugenio Suarez trade reaction: Arizona Diamondbacks 'fleeced' Seattle Mariners
The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired third baseman Eugenio Suarez in a trade with the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, giving up reliver Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala.
Who won the trade?
The answer is already clear, at least according to social media replies to the announcement of the MLB trade made by both baseball teams in the aftermath of the trade news.
Mariners fans reacted with shock and disdain at the deal, calling it a "salary dump" and a "joke."
Diamondbacks fans had a much different reaction, responding with elation to the "fleece" of Seattle by Arizona GM Mike Hazen.
What do you think of the deal?

Nothing against these guys, I wish them success, but wtf is this trade

I'm not sure I like being a minor league feeder team for the Diamondbacks.

This trade is garbage. I LOVE Geno. Jerry said we want to ADD contact hitters and then gets rid of Geno!!!!!!????? For a catcher? We already have 3 good catchers

When your fanbase is furious and the players hate you, you just gotta salary dump one of your best-loved players and team leaders

Looks like we’re building a great team for the Dbacks. Eugenio is so much fun to watch. I will miss him.

You’ve also just acquired all the Mariners fans! Congratulations. Can we get reduced fare on shipping for our Sewald and Suarez jerseys?

Great pickup, we’re gonna make another World Series push

FLEECE!!

Very solid pick up by the #Dbacks. Suarez is a major upgrade over Longoria and will pretty much plug up the hole in 3B for Arizona. Great trade!!!

What a move by Hazen, amazing addition
— Richard Hurts (@Dickreports) November 22, 2023
great trade

Mike Hazen is an absolute WIZARD. The Mariners front office was drinking and trading again it looks like.
