Poll: Which Team Should Be Most Aggressive For Eugenio Suarez?

By Nick Deeds | July 17, 2025 at 1:37pm CDT

After entering the season with big expectations, the Diamondbacks have been dogged by injuries throughout the year and seen key players like Zac Gallen and Brandon Pfaadt perform below expectations. It’s left them with a 47-50 record headed into the second half, and while the front office has not yet outright declared themselves sellers, they seemingly haven’t closed the door on the idea either.

Arizona has a number of intriguing rentals they could dangle this summer to contending clubs, but perhaps the best of them all is third baseman Eugenio Suárez. The 33-year-old is in the midst of what figures to be a career year and has already clubbed 31 homers in just 95 games. As the best bat available this summer, he should attract plenty of attention. For which teams would he make the most sense? A look at some of the top options:

New York Yankees

The Yankees entered 2025 without a solid plan for the infield, and their situation has only gotten more dire. Oswaldo Cabrera suffered an ankle injury that’s left him unlikely to return to the field this year, and the club recently cut ties with DJ LeMahieu in order to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base. That leaves New York to rely on Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner, a combination that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Suárez would be the perfect addition to a Yankees lineup that has too often relied on Aaron Judge to carry the load of producing on a regular basis by himself, and Suárez’s righty bat would help to balance a lineup dominated by lefties like Chisholm, Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and Austin Wells. As tempting as Suárez may be, however, injuries to players like Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt leave the rotation perhaps even more in need of reinforcements than the lineup. The Yankees would also pay a 110% tax on what’s left of Suárez’s $15MM salary ($5.89MM as of this writing).

Chicago Cubs

The Cubs have had a strong year so far and entered the All-Star break in first place thanks primarily to their star-studded offense. Shoring up a patchwork rotation should be the top priority for this team, but Chicago does have one of the worst third base situations in the majors. Matt Shaw entered this year as a consensus top-30 prospect in the sport and may well still be the team’s long-term solution at the hot corner, but his 61 wRC+ won’t cut it on a contender. Jon Berti and Vidal Brujan have been no better offensively, so any upgrade at third would need to be external. There aren’t many teams for whom Suárez would represent a more substantial upgrade over their internal options, and adding him to the middle of the Cubs’ order to push players like Dansby Swanson and Ian Happ down the lineup would make one of the league’s best offenses even more potent.

Milwaukee Brewers

Nipping at Chicago’s heels in the NL Central race, the Brewers sit just one game back after playing extremely well the past few weeks. With Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta and Jacob Misiorowski set to front the rotation and several solid back-end options, the Brewers appear to be the rare contender mostly set on the pitching front. Where they could use upgrades is on offense — particularly on the left side of the infield. Caleb Durbin has done a solid enough job at third base, but with Joey Ortiz struggling at shortstop and no obviously impactful trade candidates at that position, perhaps adding Suárez could bolster the lineup while allowing the Brewers to occasionally shift Durbin to second base and Brice Turang to shortstop. While the position fit is perhaps imperfect, Suárez would help transform the middle of a Milwaukee lineup that has seriously missed the contributions of Willy Adames this year. It’s fair to wonder whether Suárez fits the within the budget, however.

Seattle Mariners

Perhaps the best fit for Suárez would be a homecoming of sorts. The Mariners have long needed help on offense to complement their cache of young pitching talent, and this year is no different. Rookie Ben Williamson is handling the hot corner on a regular basis as things stand and playing good defense with minimal offense (.259/.294/.321, 79 wRC+).

Bringing Suárez back into the fold would transform the lineup, giving the team a second bona fide slugger alongside Cal Raleigh who could form a strong offensive nucleus with Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodriguez. The Mariners traded Suárez to the D-backs in the first place following the 2023 season — a move necessitated by an ownership mandate to reduce payroll. There is interest in a reunion, but would Seattle submit the top bid to reacquire a rental player they traded 21 months ago when other more surefire postseason clubs are in the bidding?

Other Options

The four clubs mentioned above are arguably the strongest fit for Suárez’s services, but they’re far from the only realistic options. The Reds would represent another homecoming for Suárez and have one of the worst third base situations in the majors at the moment. The Tigers — Suárez’s original organization — have gotten solid production from All-Stars Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez at the hot corner, but both are versatile and Suárez would add some more thump to a win-now lineup. The Blue Jays have a solid offense and are enjoying a breakout season from Addison Barger at third base, but he could just as easily be moved to right field to clear the deck for Suárez. The Mets have moved Mark Vientos off third base amid a difficult season, and Suárez would be a clear upgrade over Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty on the infield.

Suárez’s elite power and ability to play a solid third base make him an attractive target for any club hoping to add a little thump to the lineup. Which team should push hardest to acquire him? Have your say in the poll below:

    The Yankees might be the best match in terms of prospect capital. If I’m Hazen, I try to land Cam Schlitter in a deal.

    I also should note that I don’t think Suárez will be enough to pry Schlitter away, so it might have to be a packaged deal that includes Zac Gallen or Merrill Kelly.

          Fever- It’s all good. I truthfully never wanted Bregman on the Yankees. Surprisingly a lot of Yankee fans wanted him to sign as a free agent. I was definitely fine with him goin to Boston. I thought the fans liked him? Shocked. I’m ok with Suárez, he is 33 already though, and will cost a fortune. McMahon or Hayes would be a lot cheaper as far as prospects.

          First base really isn’t rocket science. If you can play third, you can play first. This constant opinion of first base being some incredibly difficult position is amusing. Don’t money-ball reference either.

          It’s not like moving to catcher from pitcher. Every player in the big leagues has played all over the diamond growing up.

          You’re usually, not always, going to have a lefty playing first base. There are a few more right handed fielding first baseman than there used to be. But finding a lefty 3b man? Good luck.

          It’s wild that first base isn’t that position anymore for big boppers and big money. Delgado, big Mac, Mo, Helton, etc.

          Baseball has gotten in better shape and more athletic at the same time.

          I just want another big righty bat and ok defense at first. Over pay, just get it done. Tired of this team operating like Tampa so they can spend money on soccer!

          No. His hitting approach is made for Houston and even more so Fenway. Those rate as the two best parks for him by far. Bad fit at Yankee Stadium for the price and years he got. His best move is to stay on the Red Sox. The Yankees won’t be bidding seriously on him again this postseason beyond driving up his price.

          I do not understand your dislike of Bregman … A good hitter with some pop , good glove at the hot corner. A winner, as well as a good mentor and leader from everything I’ve read that wasn’t authored by you. Is it the money? Does it go back to the Devers situation? At this point in the season,moving him or Duran for that matter I believe would upset the good chemistry of this team. ( I know this wasn’t about Duran) I don’t get it ..

          cdr – Part of the reason is because the NL didn’t have a DH, so the worst fielders were forced to keep their bat in the lineup by playing first base.

          Guys like Ohtani and Schwarber would likely be playing first base if there was still no DH.

          Lord – Ironically Bregman’s strong 53-game start is not fueled by Fenway, as his road OPS is 126 points higher than his Fenway OPS.

          Regardless, if he gets the $200M contract offer from Detroit or the Cubs or some other team I think he will jump at it. His numbers won’t matter as much with that kind of guaranteed contract.

          cdc – You must have missed my response the first time. LOL!

          I don’t dislike him, he’s a solid all-around athlete who gives his all.

          Just because I don’t want the Red Sox giving him the monster contract he’s seeking, it doesn’t mean I don’t like the guy. I said the same thing about Soto, I didn’t want the Sox giving him a $700M+ contract.

          And BTW not once have I said to trade Bregman if the Sox are still in the chase by the deadline, which as of right now they obviously are.

          I’ll summarize the reason why I don’t want the Sox to give him the monster contract:

          1) He gets injured often

          2) I’d rather have Mayer at 3B and Rafaela at 2B at least against RHP.

          3) Paying him a monster amount for 53 games doesn’t make sense when you look back at his 2020-2024 seasons.

          4) He’s already 31.

          5) I’d rather spend the money on pitching.

          That’s fair. If Mayer can become a Bregman clone that’s would be great. Mayer has also been injured already several times in his minor league career ,as I have heard you mention. That’s putting a lot on him. Before this season 3 in a row of at least 145 games also 6 out of 8 years with 145. I don’t count the COVID year. Mayer may be more of an injury risk ,and does not have several all-star caliber seasons in the bank. I do think Mayer is going to be a solid player but he has a long way to go before he gets to Bregmans level. You agree with that ?

          cdc – I agree, Mayer’s chronic back issue is a concern. That’s another reason why they should play him every day now to see if he can hold up physically.

          I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two players, but defensively Mayer is not that far away from Bregman. It’s Mayer’s hitting, especially against LHP, that needs to improve more.

          Yoshida is the one benched against the RHP.

          You have said you expected Story to have a good year. What gave you the Insight that he could or would hold up physically this year?? 3 yrs of injuries. Bregman has been much healthier than Story in his career, and much better. The Colorado factor. You never know when an injury will occur . I don’t know I don’t think you can look at injury potential with Bregman. 3 straight years at 145+ coming into this season.

          cdc – I had that expectation about Story because he looked strong at the end of last year, the Sox made no effort in exploring the acquisition of another shortstop, and the law of averages pointed to a healthy season after 3 consecutive injury-plagued seasons. Some people tend to think if you have injuries for a couple years, then you’ll always be injured …. that’s simply not true, except for a few exceptions like Ellsbury.

          Bregman being healthier than Story is not exactly a high bar to clear. LOL!

          Of the most recent 5 seasons (including this one) he’s played a relatively full schedule only twice, so the injury history is certainly a concern.

          Just to clarify, it’s the risk associated with a 6-year extension that makes it a big concern. Just the law of averages, 6 years going through Age 37 is a higher level of risk. If it was a 3-year extension, I’d be less concerned about injuries.

          The Sox did not look to acquire another SS, because .multi years remaining on Story’s contract. As well as the Marcello Mayer. Story looked strong at the beginning of last season until he landed awkwardly on his shoulder Bregman in 2022,23,and 24 , played in at least 145, games the 3 straight years before signing with the Sox. Obviously injuries are a major concern for any player especially the older they get. I would be very hesitant to sign any player to a contract that goes past age 37 . Definitely the age that regression and decline seems to really kick in. I’d rather have the player with a higher annual salary for 3 years ,than a lower one for 6 . I can’t stand the opt outs.

Mayer had nothing to do with anything, he was a minor leaguer who was never gonna make the OD roster. The plan was to keep him in the minors long enough to make it impossible to gain a year of service time.

          Cdc – Thete are 162 games in the regular season. 145 means Bregman missed 17 games (162-145=17) for health reasons which is not good. That’s more than 10% of the entire season. It’s almost 3 full weeks of games.

      It would be reckless of the Yanks to trade away more high end upcoming talent to plug holes. Too many holes to plug this year and there has to be a time where they are willing to take a step back in order to take a few steps forward like the Red Sox and Tampa consistently do and let the young players have a shot rather then continue down this path.

          The Yankees are in a cash crunch if you can call it that given the taxes added in. They should have not released DJL but instead agreed to include a better return if AZ took on some or all of his remaining money.

      I doubt Schlitter or Jones will part of a Suárez package. I could definitely see a Lalane, Selvidge, Carr package with a Pereira and others goin to Arizona. If Gallen is included in the package then the Yankees might give in and put Schlitter in the trade then. I feel Suárez will be traded to the Brewers.

        MKE is too cheap and the front office generally sticks to players who look like Murphy or Durbin based on recent history. I’d like them to bring back C.Santana and then look elsewhere for a 3B like K.Hayes. Maybe a change of scenery would help Hayes? Of course, none of my scenarios will happen because of my first sentence.

        I’m wondering if the D”Backs GM Hazen will try and milk the most out of Milwaukee and Chicago they are from the same division the dislike for each other’s front office, with Counsell now managing the Cubs, what better way to get top prospects in a trade from either side while dangling Suarez over their heads. One of these two teams will have to overpay to get what they want and where they want to go. Question then becomes How bad do the Cub’s and Brewers want the ring.

          I would argue the Cubs are not in need of Suarez so much because their offense is already so robust. They should focus their resources on pitching and find a cheap 1.5-2.0 WAR guy with plus defense to plug third base.

      No. The Brewers can afford to part with Robert Gasser. He’s MLB ready and will be back in a few weeks. The Brewers have the best trade chip of a front line starter if they are willing to pull the trigger.

      Why are Yankee fans so delusional about matching up with teams? The Yankees have one of the worst farm systems in baseball, quite literally everyone matches up better with the Diamondbacks than the Yankees do.

      I say the Mariners will likely be the ones landing Saurez because they have a ton of prospect capital and they work with limited financial resources. The Cubs and Yankees would likely turn to McMahon when the ask gets too high.

      I have to say, I find it humorous you think the 10th ranked prospect in the 27th ranked farm is too much for Suarez. You all need to put down the pipe.

Just because the Yankees have 30 prospects listed doesn’t mean they are top prospects in the league. The arrogance of Yankee fans are astounding! They just gave up 4 to get Soto & he walked away for nothing but a future comp pick.

      The article claims that the Reds have one of the worst 3B situations “at the moment.” Their 3B production for the season reflects poor results from a carousel of fill-ins, and they’ve already jettisoned Jeimer Candelario. But as of a few weeks ago Noelvi Marte is back with the team and is producing. The Reds are probably better off standing pat with Marte at 3B and spending their resources elsewhere.

      What they need is another OF bat. And relief pitching, just like 29 other teams.

      Agree pitching should be Cubs focus but adding Suarez at 3B would give them a championship offense.
      Serious need for at least one arm in the rotation and a closer or setup man shouldn’t be ignored though. The bidding on Suarez could easily get out of hand where the Cubs need to focus their prospect capital on pitching, especially since trading Caissie is probably a terrible idea unless they are committed to re-signing Tucker.

      The Cubs entire plan has been 25-26. Multiple contracts end after 2026 and before the inevitable lockout. They need Suarez (they can bring Shaw back up for the bench on September 1 when rosters expand) as well as a solid #2 starter. Their lower minors are not strong at all, so they should be looking to unload anybody who won’t be a starting position player in 2026.

        The Mariners should look for a lefty power bat, not adding Suarez’s righty bat to the lineup with righties Rodriguez Raleigh and and Arozarena already in the middle of the lineup.
        It would strengthen the Cubs lineup. Kevin Alcantara would represent a decent offer for Suarez, maybe the best they can expect for a rental player.
        The Cubs wpuld get the righty bat they need to balance the lineup.

        Yankees don’t need a farm though. They can part with their prospects because they know they can afford to get the production in free agency instead.

        A Yankees offer of two pitchers in their top 10 prospects would be hard for the M’s to beat (not because we don’t have the capital, but because we need that capital to give us production on the MLB minimum to stay competitive).

        The Brewers have more to offer in terms of major league ready starting pitchers than any other team in the bidding for Suarez. They have already sent down two rookie pitchers back to the minors that had ERA’s less than than 3.55. Chad Patrick (Rookie) 3.52 ERA over 18 starts in MLB. Was in the running for rookie of the year, but was sent back to the minors to make room for Brandon Woodruff…tough break. Logan Henderson (Rookie) 1. 71 ERA over 4 starts and 21 innings. Once again was sent down to make room for Jose Quintana who came off the injured list…..tough break. Tobias Myers got hurt early this year with a left oblique strain. He just returned to the majors last week, but did not start before the all-star break. As a rookie last year he was great. He was 9-6 over 138.00 innings with an ERA of 3.00. All of these pitchers are controlled until at least 2031. I would hate for the Brewers to give up even one of these pitchers for less than 1/2 year of Suarez, but if you are going for it, it may take one of these pitchers in the deal. I just hope the Brewers get a throw in prospect in the deal.

      It would be nice to see him back at GABP in the 1st base dugout. How much of the farm are you willing to give up for 60 games? If the Reds are going to give up quality prospects, they need some controllable years in return. Not many of those types out there, and the ones that are, will be overpriced return-wise.

      Probably better to pick up an extra bat, or two if possible, trading off some of the MLB current players that aren’t coming back next year, and hope for a miracle. Then, as per usual, say…. wait until next year.

    His bat is exactly what Toronto needs. Barger needs to stay in the lineup one way or another, but they can certainly figure that out.

        It’s also worth mentioning Tiedemann and Barriera both of whom are in injury recovery/bounceback mode. But while most of Toronto’s pitching prospects have some warts on them, there’s quite a bit of talent there—if someone’s willing to be patient.

        But Yesavage and a position-player prospect could easily get it done. Considering what little Scherzer and Trea Turner garnered, or Manny Machado, two decent prospects would go a long away.

Starting tomorrow night the next four teams, they have to play are the Cards, Astros, @ Pirates then @ Tigers. They need to win at m least 8 out of 10 and the other teams ahead of them in the WC race need to lose 8 out 10 each for the D”Backs to be buyers. The rest of this season they need to play at a .610 pace. With this pitching staff and no solid help on the horizon just can’t see Hazen being a seller this year and instead building for 2027, using 2026 to build with the prospects and existing farm prospects he hopes to get at the trade deadline in 10 days.

Everyone knows the Dbacks are a playoff caliber team (like the Braves) that has underachieved had terrible luck. But if you do sell,it might work out for the best as next season (the last season before the strike year) if you can add some talent by selling off the expiring contracts like Suarez, and come back stronger next year.

        Nestor Cortez is just about done with his rehab assignment plus our AAA rotation is better than some MLB teams. We’re loaded with pitching depth, unlike last year. Durbin plays like he doesn’t want to sit. I think he could play second and have Turang play SS. With Suarez playing 3rd. But I want to be reasonable with the trade. We could trade with CO or someone else. We need clutch hitting. We smell it with Andrew Vaughn. With Suarez, Vaughn, Yelich, Chourio, and Hoskins in the lineup, the ballpark gets much smaller.

        Suarez will leave in the offseason because the Reds won’t pay him, which was why they traded him away in the first place.

        All of the teams need help at 3B, regardless of FA status. It’s just too bad that some of those terrible teams like the Nationals, Rockies, A’s and White Sox are more concerned about making money from the tax than actually fielding a legitimate team.

        I’d prefer if they could demote some of those teams to a lower league where they can play the cheap team until they’re interested in playing at the highest level.

          Are you LFG in disguise? Trading away top talent for less than half a season upgrade in a dead season is something he would do. Thats something even trade happy dipoto wouldnt do.

          Also the Guardians and Brewers would be making more off taxes than the Nationals (strasburg) and Rockies (bryant) as the nationals and rockies both have higher luxury cap value currently. Im sure the guardians could use an upgrade at dh over manzardo whether thats ramirez or him sliding into that role or switching off to keep the other fresh while also not being that far out of the wild card hunt.

    Phillies are aging, built to win now. Suarez adds another potent bat & another impending free agent Shelby Miller fills their most glaring need.
    Dbacks are supposedly looking for young arms, Andrew Painter appears to be recovering well, Mick Abel another possibility.
    Bohm isn’t a FA until 2027 and can play 3B or 1B. Maybe the dbacks could get one of the Phils top young arms & Bohm for Suarez & Shelby Miller. Might be too much for the Phil’s to pay for two rentals, but if those two rentals help them win a WS……..

        I think that would be crazy and I know you’re joking. IF you look up past trades for rentals this really isn’t that crazy. I included Gallen because he pitches really well on the East coast regardless of his ERA currently. He threw 7 SO with 13 K’s in the Bronx earlier this year. I think he has high upside there and is worth the Gamble for NY. Suarez, he will hit probably another 10-20 HR this year and I’d be surprised if he didn’t come close to 50 HR especially in NY. Adding those too and a solid relief arm for jones I think is actually extremely fair and isn’t overpaying that much imo.

      The Mariners are not sending Harry Ford for Naylor and Alek Thomas. For starters, Thomas doesn’t have a fit on the roster at all, so his inclusion is pointless. Secondly, Naylor is getting something like Michael Morales or Teddy McGraw. No one is giving up anywhere near a top 100 prospect for him.

    I’ve heard on a AZ D’Back flagship sports radio station that there is approx 6 to 8 teams where Suarez by himself could end up. Right now, heard that Milwaukee is a front runner for Suarez, because they have a ML ready rotation in their farm system right now. It also stated that the Phillies could offer (3B) Bohm who is a FA 2027, a top 20 pitching prospect. Then comes Cubs, who can offer a top 10 prospect, 3B Shaw, plus a top 50 prospect. Yankees would have to come up with something like three top 20 prospect, one prospect being in the top 10 though.

How will Milwaukee fans feel about the Brewers front office and say well we did not want to give up so-n-so prospect the D’Backs were wanting, but yet the Cubs did and they made it to the WS this season, now the Brewers have missed a good opportunity to best the Cubs, not saying this scenario would happen but it sure would be funny if it did. Who says that Suarez will have another season like this one.

      Saurez is not netting Arizona a top 100 prospect. Zero top 100 prospects got moved at last years trade deadline for rentals. Saurez is good, a lot of teams will be interested but a “bidding war” isn’t happening.

      It’s amazing that you think 2 months of Saurez is going to get a bigger return than one year of Kyle Tucker.

      Suarez might be the best bat on the market, but all of those packages sound like crazy overpays for rental. No way the cubs would package Shaw for a rental 3rd baseman when he is still their plan for 2026 and beyond. I think whoever is suggesting these trade packages might suffer from a little AZ homeritis. I’d love it if the cubs got Suarez, but hard pass at these prices. Cubs are still a contender if they just upgrade the rotation and the bench. Let someone else overpay if that is what it takes.

    Seattle Mariners roster is fascinating. They have the best Catcher in baseball, a top 5 rotation, a top 5 closer, one of the games brightest young stars (JRod) and possibly the very best defensive player in MLB (DMoore). Their rookie RF’er has been very good, releasing Haniger was the right move. Plus that Brash kid came out of nowhere to solidify the back end of the pen, running off like 18 scoreless innings before giving up an earned run – and we barely heard about it. For all of us that live on the East Coast, we don’t really see the spectacular things some of their players do on a nightly basis. Would contend they are a Suarez (3B) & Chapman (LHRP) away from being a favorite to come out of the AL.

    Yanks first priority is a relief pitching. They have the best run diff +111 in the Al and their XWL is +6 over their number of wins for what that’s worth If they can get a starter like Keller/ Ryan and a relief pitcher like Duran/ Jax I think they will roll in the second half.. Gil coming back is also a plus..

    Kansas City might seem like a surprise. Small market not getting much play in media. But this ownership group is dead set against making the fan base apathetic as they approach a new ballpark. It is not outside the realm of reason that they’d deal for Suarez. They NEED offense BAD…and need to avoid a ridiculously falling off second half with the Chiefs firing back up soon. They need the chase as much as anything.

    Just adding this, because Im not seeing much smoke on this…but its been discussed around KC.

    Mariners fans weren’t crazy upset when he was traded. They were pleasantly surprised by his improved defense because of Perry Hill, but he struck out over 30% of the time. He was a plus in the clubhouse, so players were upset, especially Cal, but ownership promised that Josh Rojas was the next Brooks Robinson. Frankly, I think the team best suited is the Cubs, but the Mariners really have to get Josh Naylor. Not O’Hearn (who’s been fading for a month) and no ex-Rockies (McMahon). Add Aroldis Chapman to the pen, and that’s a decent lineup.

    Of the teams listed the Mariners have the best farm system with the Brewers a close second on the list. Not sure how much Dipoto and Hollander are willing to trade for rentals but they can get Suarez if they want him. I would rather see the Mariners get Naylor. Though they Need a IB, 3B and two bullpen arms, I kinda like B. Williamson and his ability to take away runs with his glove as well as put the ball in play. They need hitting at both corner infield positions so would love to see them get both Suarez and Naylor but if I had my choice, It’s Naylor. Even though Suarez is beloved here in Seattle (Good Vibes Only) Naylor puts the ball in play more and more teams need a 3B (Yankees Cubs, etc.) and feel like there is going to be more competition for Suarez.

How desperate will these buying teams be willing to increase payroll and give up prospects they did not want to lose and take the chance that the trade they make will lead them to the playoffs. Can’t wait, the rumors should only get better before some team actually pulls the trigger on a trade in the next two weeks. What team will gamble their future prospects for a rental.

      I agree. The Brewers seem to always be more aggressive trading before it gets down to the wire. If they land Suarez, I think it would happen before the week of the trade deadline. So by the end of next week otherwise I don’t think they will be the winner.

I doubt they would want to move Harper to LF, Bohm to 1st and Suarez take over at 3B. We need a RH power bat in this lineup and he definitely fits that need
    Can you imagine him playing the rest of his home games and home playoff games at CBP? that would be sweet
