Eugenio Suarez enjoyed a strong 2025 season. Batting .228 with 49 home runs and 118 RBIs, the infielder earned himself his second All-Star selection.
Spending the second half of the season in Seattle, Suarez helped the Mariners win their division, the AL West for the first time since 2001, and make it to the NLCS.
Having entered free agency as soon as the campaign concluded, the Venezuelan’s future still remains undecided.

Speaking to MLB Network Radio on Sunday, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander opened the door for a potential reunion with the third baseman.
“Certainly a chance (of re-signing Eugenio Suarez),” Hollander said. “We’ve maintained with Geno’s reps. We love Geno. Geno brings a ton. Not just on the field, the things that people see, the 49 home runs, the big moments, but off the field.
“His steady presence, great makeup, what he brings to a clubhouse everyday, it’s really hard to replicate. So, we’ve maintained contact with Geno’s reps all winter long.”
Insider explains why Eugenio Suarez’s free agency has been relatively quiet thus far
In an article published on Sunday, insider Mark Polishuk of MLB Trade Rumors explained why Eugenio Suarez has not yet received the kind of offers one would expect for a player that is coming off a 49-homer season.
“Depending on the defensive metric of your choice, Suarez has been generally an average to below-average third baseman for several years now,” Polishuk wrote. “Both Defensive Runs Saved (-6) and Outs Above Average (-3) weren’t impressed by his glovework in 2025. The Cubs and Red Sox have also been linked to Suarez’s market this winter.
“But again, it isn’t known if either of these teams or any other suitors have put a contract on the table for the 34-year-old slugger. It has been a fairly cool market for a player coming off a 49-homer season, yet Suarez’s age, high strikeout rates, and subpar defense are red flags for any team considering a long-term commitment. It also didn’t help that Suarez’s production dipped heavily after he was dealt from the Diamondbacks to the Mariners at the trade deadline.”
According to Polishuk, Eugenio Suarez is projected to secure a contract in the range of $60 million.
