Overview
- Multiple outlets report the five-year deal is in place pending a physical, and the club has not disclosed financial terms.
- Acquired from Arizona on July 24, Naylor helped Seattle win the AL West and then hit .340 with three home runs across 12 postseason games.
- Naylor’s 2025 line across Arizona and Seattle was .295/.353/.462 with 20 homers, 92 RBIs and 30 steals, highlighting his contact skills and smart baserunning.
- Seattle’s front office had labeled keeping Naylor a top priority as it seeks continuity around Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez and a deep rotation.
- Separately, Phillies president Dave Dombrowski indicated Philadelphia will target starting-pitching depth rather than top-tier arms this winter.
