Mariners Reportedly Bring First Baseman Josh Naylor Back on Multi-Year Deal

The first major free agent is reportedly off the board as MLB free agency gets underway.

The Seattle Mariners agreed to terms with first baseman Josh Naylor on a five-year contract, according to ESPN. The move keeps Naylor, 28, in Seattle months after he joined the club via a deadline trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

An All-Star with Arizona in 2024, Naylor was traded to Seattle for pitchers Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi on July 24. He went on to appear in 54 games for the Mariners after playing 94 games for the Diamondbacks in the regular season, posting a slash line of .295/.353/.462 with 20 home runs, 92 RBI, and 30 stolen bases.
