Sokolowski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n It feels like they have the available DH time to make that happen without disrupting the rest of a roster that fits together so well,\u201d Doolittle wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m thinking a nice pillow contract for Eugenio Suarez would be a perfect fit — and he wouldn’t have to be strictly a DH.\u201d<\/p>\n The Brewers already have Caleb Durbin at third base, so Suarez might fit best as a DH. For the Mariners though, this could be a big loss.<\/p>\n They need a little more power in their lineup, especially after the loss of Polanco. They have been interested in Brendan Donovan, but Jeff Passan reports that the San Francisco Giants are pursuing him quite aggressively, which could ultimately take Seattle out of the picture.<\/p>\n So, it might be best for the Mariners to try and re-sign Suarez. He likely isn\u2019t going to sign a long-term deal, which could leave a little room for the Mariners to give him a pillow contract with opt-outs.<\/p>\n He won\u2019t come cheap, but Seattle could at least have that middle-of-the-order presence in their lineup that they were able to land at the trade deadline<\/a>. Having him back could enhance their chances of making a run back to the postseason.<\/p>\n If he leaves for Milwaukee though, the Brewers will be in good shape to repeat as National League Central champions, even if they ultimately decide to do the unthinkable and trade Freddy Peralta.<\/p>\n But Seattle is a bigger market, and they can\u2019t let themselves get outbid by a small-market team that doesn\u2019t typically spend big in free agency. We\u2019ll see if they can keep their slugger.<\/p>\n![\"Mariners\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01keyw3evqrc510m8zr7.jpg\" "\\"Mariners\\"")
