Overview

  • Multiple outlets, including ESPN, AP and Reuters, report the agreement is pending a physical, and the team has not announced financial details.
  • After a July trade from Arizona, Naylor hit .299/.341/.490 with nine home runs and 19 steals in 54 games for Seattle.
  • He was a key October performer, batting .340 with three homers as the Mariners advanced to Game 7 of the ALCS.
  • Seattle acquired Naylor on July 24 from the Diamondbacks for Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi, stabilizing first base down the stretch.
  • The five-year pact is widely described as the offseason’s first major free-agent signing and would keep Naylor with the Mariners through 2030.
