In a wide-open American League, the Mariners will have as good a chance as anyone to make a deep postseason run, and Naylor could be a big part of that. He’s played in three postseasons and is known for hitting clutch home runs.
On Thursday, the Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitching prospects Ashton Izzi and Brandyn Garci
Naylor is slashing .292/.360/.447 this season, with 11 home runs, 59 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. The Diamondbacks had acquired Naylor in an offseason trade with the Guardians, with the slugger coming off a 31-homer, 108-RBI campaign in Cleveland. Naylor, 28, is a free agent at the end of the season, making him a rental for Seattle.
