Mariners' Deadline Acquisitions Fuel 10-1 Run to AL West Lead

Seattle’s 10-1 run since the July 31 deadline has been driven by Josh Naylor’s breakout bat.

Overview

  • Seattle has gone 10-1 since July 31, the American League’s best record in that span, to tie for first place in the AL West.
  • Josh Naylor has slashed .346/.433/.808 with a 1.241 OPS in his first month in Seattle, providing elite offensive production.
  • Eugenio Suárez has struggled through an .088/.135/.176 August line and just one home run since joining the Mariners.
  • Victor Robles and right-hander Bryce Miller are progressing on rehab assignments and project to rejoin the roster by late August.
  • Pending free agents acquired at the deadline, including Naylor and Suárez, will be ineligible for qualifying offers, shaping Seattle’s off-season strategy.
