Overview

  • The Mariners acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks in exchange for left-handed prospect Brandyn Garcia and right-handed prospect Ashton Izzi.
  • Seattle general manager Justin Hollander said Naylor’s blend of contact and power fits the team’s postseason ambitions.
  • Arizona moved into full seller mode after key pitching injuries and unmet expectations undermined its season.
  • Eugenio Suárez, slashing .252/.325/.593 with a 149 OPS+ and 36 home runs, has drawn inquiries from 12 teams led by the Yankees and Mariners.
  • The Diamondbacks are seeking “a ton” in return, preferring pitching prospects but open to upper-level position talent and willing to retain Suárez if offers fall short.
