The Seattle Mariners didn't just land one of the biggest trade-deadline prizes when they acquired Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, they also made a bit of MLB history in the process. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported in the early morning hours on Thursday that the Mariners landed the top power hitter on the market,

Maris was a three-time World Series champion, a two-time MVP and a seven-time All-Star. He won a Gold Glove and hit 61 home runs in that 1961 season. Mantle, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1974, was a 20-time All-Star and a seven-time World Series champion. He won a batting title and three MVPs, as well as a Triple Crown.

Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto believes Seattle acquired the "best bats" available, adding power to a lineup that already ranks fifth in the majors in home runs.
