The Mariners are finalizing a five-year contract with the one-time All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Financial terms of the agreement are not yet known, and the deal is pending a physical.
Naylor was an immediate fit in Seattle after they acquired him from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a July trade. The 28-year-old posted a .831 OPS with nine homers, 33 RBIs, and stole 19 bases without being caught in 54 games after the trade to help the Mariners win their first division title since 2001.
