R.J. Anderson writes: 鈥淚t鈥檚 to be seen what the Diamondbacks can get from this trio. Perhaps Locklear becomes a fixture in the middle of 蜜柚直播鈥檚 lineup, and/or maybe both Cranton and Burgos can work their way into high-leverage situations. In that case, this deal will age well enough. As it stands, though, it鈥檚 probably OK to feel a touch underwhelmed by this package considering the strength of the Mariners鈥 system and the paucity of comparable offensive talent available.鈥

It writes: 鈥淟ocklear is well-liked but ultimately a right-handed first baseman dependent on power. 蜜柚直播 could be a good fit to get him at-bats. Burgos and Cranton should develop into big-league relievers, but it鈥檚 hard to say what kind of ceiling either have.鈥

Jesse Yomtov writes: 鈥淧retty good return, plucking three of Seattle鈥檚 top 20 prospects in Locklear (No. 9), Cranton (16) and Burgos (17). Locklear, 24, will likely find himself getting a run-out in 蜜柚直播鈥檚 lineup sooner rather than later. The first baseman made his big-league debut last season and has nothing left to prove in the minors (.316/.401/.552, 19 HR, 82 RBis in Class AAA).鈥

Chris Landers writes: 鈥淭he Diamondbacks should feel good about getting Locklear in this deal. And Cranton and Burgos should be able to contribute 鈥 Burgos out of the pen right away potentially. Still ... that鈥檚 all they could squeeze out for a bat as hot as Suarez鈥檚? I get his defense is suspect, but still.鈥
