Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that Naylor agreed to a five-year contract to remain in Seattle, with financial terms not yet disclosed.
  • The Mariners prioritized keeping Naylor this winter, casting him as a core bat alongside Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez.
  • After his trade-deadline arrival, Naylor posted a .299/.341/.490 line with Seattle and then hit .340 across 12 postseason games.
  • For 2025 overall, he slashed .295/.353/.462 with 20 home runs and 92 RBIs, helping deliver the franchise’s first AL West crown and ALCS appearance since 2001.
  • The agreement provides stability for the 28-year-old following moves from Cleveland to Arizona before Seattle acquired his expiring contract.
