The Mariners have agreed to acquire first baseman Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks. Brandyn Garcia and pitching prospect Ashton Izzi are headed back to Arizona. Naylor is hitting .292/.360/.447 with 11 homers this season, showing strong bat-to-ball skills and the potential for 20 homers. While his previous career-high of 31 homers last year appears to be an outlier, he was considered the top left-handed hitting rental bat available, despite less attention compared to teammate Eugenio Suarez.
Brandyn Garcia and pitching prospect Ashton Izzi are headed back to Arizona, as the Mariners agree to acquire first baseman Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks.
Naylor is hitting .292/.360/.447 with 11 homers in nearly 400 trips to the dish, showcasing excellent bat-to-ball skills.
Last year's career-high 31 homers looks like an outlier for Naylor, but he holds potential for 20 homers this season.
Naylor was arguably the top left-handed hitting rental bat on the market, despite less deadline hype compared to teammate Eugenio Suarez.
