Ken Rosenthal On Why Josh Naylor Is Worth Mariners’ Five-Year $100 Million Bet

Rosenthal said the Mariners didn’t just trade for Naylor; they’re locking him up. Seattle is finalizing a five-year deal expected to land around $90–100 million for the 28-year-old slugger, who hit .340 with a .966 OPS in 51 postseason plate appearances. Rosenthal praised Naylor’s savvy, edge and leadership, saying he “elevates every team he’s on.”
