Did Diamondbacks or Mariners Get Best Value in Josh Naylor Trade?Mariners Executive VP & GM Justin Hollander announced the team has acquired infielder Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for LHP Brandyn Garcia and minor league RHP Ashton Izzi.
“We are thrilled to add Josh as we make a push for the Postseason,” said Hollander. “Josh’s ability to hit for both average and power is unique, and we are excited not to have to face him anymore.”
Naylor, 28, was batting .292 with 11 home runs, 59 RBI, 19 doubles, and 11 steals in 93 games, posting an .807 OPS and 124 OPS+ at the time of the trade.
Garcia was Seattle’s top-ranked left-handed pitching prospect and #13 overall per MLB Pipeline. Izzi, ranked #16 overall by MLB Pipeline and #13 by Baseball America, was a top-10 pitching prospect in the system.
Winner: Mariners - Seattle kicks it off with a big base knock.
