We’re incredibly excited at the chance to acquire two All-Star caliber players,” Mariners   President of Baseball Operations  Jerry Dipoto said.

“Jesse has been one of the premier offensive players in the league over the past two seasons, while Suárez brings a long track record as a power hitter. Our goal is to reach the postseason this year, and we feel that these additions give us the depth and impact in our lineup necessary to compete for one of those spots.”

The Mariners organization also took time out to publicly  thank Dunn, Fraley and Williams
