Carlos Vargas was acquired by the Mariners in a trade that sent Eugenio Suarez to the Diamondbacks. This move reflects Seattle's ongoing search for a solid third base solution, as Vargas is expected to contribute to the team's pitching depth rather than directly addressing the infield needs.

Carlos Vargas, a pitcher for the Tacoma Rainiers, recorded an impressive throw at 100.3 mph with his two-seam fastball this season. He had a solid performance overall, posting a 3.54 ERA in 55 appearances and striking out 40 batters in 53.1 innings pitched. Vargas stands out as one of the notable prospects in the Mariners' organization, showcasing the team's continued success in developing high-velocity talent.

Carlos Vargas was part of the trade that brought Seby Zavala to the Mariners but did not make any appearances for the team during the season. Despite possessing an exciting set of tools, he did not earn a call-up and remained inactive throughout the year.
