Here’s why Eugenio Suarez has no market

Most of the big fish in the free agent pool have finally found takers in what has been a busy offseason until recently. But the market for a few big-name free agents remains stagnant, as they have yet to find a home for the upcoming season and beyond.

This is the case for Eugenio Suarez, among others, despite the fact that he had an excellent season in 2025. Jim Bowden revealed on the Foul Territory podcast what could be behind the difficult situation facing the former Seattle Mariners player.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

Jim Bowden is dropping a bomb that teams have kicked the tires on Eugenio Suarez, but at this time there is absolutely no market for him. When asking a non-contending GM if he would sign him to trade this season, the reply was, “Arizona… pic.twitter.com/zZZkwOjh0V

According to the latter, Major League Baseball teams do not believe that the third baseman will have enough market value on the trade market later in the season.

I spoke this morning to a GM of a team that is not a contender and asked him, “Why not sign Suarez, put him in the lineup, and trade him midseason for a prospect? ” His response was, “Look at what he did last year, 49 home runs, and when we got to the trade deadline, there was no market for him. Arizona barely got a good return.”

Bowden added that, in his opinion, Suarez is not an ideal third baseman defensively for most MLB teams, and he hasn't spent enough time at first base to be prioritized over younger players or others with more experience at that position.

It's still crazy to think that a guy who hit 49 home runs last year has no market right now. Last season marked the second time in his career that he hit 49 home runs, the first time being in 2019.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox are emerging as organizations that could ultimately acquire Suarez by the start of the 2026 season.
