He finished the 2021 season with 31 home runs and 79 RBIs.
On March 14, 2022, the Reds traded Suárez and Jesse Winker to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for Justin Dunn, Jake Fraley, Brandon Williamson, and a player to be named later, later announced to be Connor Phillips. The transaction was a cost-cutting measure that saved the franchise just under $36 million but was unpopular with Reds fans. On July 8th, 2022, he hit his first career walk-off home run in a 5-2 extra-innings win over the Toronto Blue Jays. On September 7, 2022, he recorded his 1000th career hit with a 2-run home run off Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech. On September 11, 2022, Suárez homered twice in an 8-7 win over the Atlanta Braves, helping to atone for a blown 4-run lead in the top of the 9th by taking Kenley Jansen deep for a walk-off solo shot.
On November 22, 2023, the Mariners traded Suárez to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for reliever Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala.
