Mariners Reach Five-Year Agreement to Re-Sign Josh Naylor

The first major free-agent move of the winter positions Seattle to shift offseason attention to other roster decisions.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a five-year deal pending a physical, and the club has not yet announced terms.
  • Financial details were not disclosed, though projections from outlets have estimated a range of roughly $75–90 million.
  • Naylor excelled after his July arrival, hitting .299/.341/.490 with nine homers and 19 steals in 54 games, then batting .340 with three home runs in 12 postseason games.
  • The midseason trade from Arizona on July 24 for prospects Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi made him ineligible for a qualifying offer and eased Seattle’s path to retain him.
  • With Naylor expected to be under contract through 2030, the Mariners can now address other key calls such as Eugenio Suárez and Jorge Polanco.
