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.

It's been quite a journey for the Seattle Mariners this season, who put their stamp on the American League West Division top spot early. Seattle has been riding the hot bat of catcher Cal Raleigh, who has 41 homers to his name at this time.
