The Mariners won six straight wins, which put them in a draw with Houston and became the top spot for Al West. Josh Naylor During that time, there were eight hits, including a trio home run. He has hit 0.260/.306/.460 in 41 games since the deadline acquisition from Arizona. He also ranked third in the basic attempt of the stolen attempt with a score of 16-16 Juan Soto and Jazz Chisholm Jr. He has been stolen since he was traded.
Not surprisingly, the Mariners hope to keep their upcoming free agents in the Pacific Northwest. “Yes, I think we (hopefully keep him).” “It remains to be seen how Josh feels about this. It’s no easy task when you go to the playoffs to open up such a discussion. I know we’re interested in the end, and I believe Josh’s end.”
Naylor hasn’t suffered from the family park in Seattle, the hardest Major League Baseball has against batsmen. He has hit .338 with 5 home runs in 19 games at T-Mobile Park since the trade. It’s a very small sample, but Naylor also had a success with pitching as a visitor. His career was .283/.319/.535 batsman made 140 sets in T-Mobile Park.
“He’s actually as good as anyone who’s been playing in the past few years. It doesn’t seem to bother him a lot. We’ll see if we’re interested in sticking to being a sailor,” Dipoto noted. Naylor responded to those views when he spoke to M’s beat earlier this week (via the Seattle Times’ Ryan Divish link).
“Every time I become an opponent, it’s like the first place I can’t wait to think of,” said the left-handed batsman. “I’m very comfortable everywhere to be honest, but I really enjoy playing here and coming here as an opponent. I think it’s a super cool stadium. The fans are always electric. I think you’re here, personally.
When deciding how to seriously reach a long-term agreement with Naylor, the sailors will surpass 36 park-specific data. His success there provided some comfort to both sides, though. During Dipoto’s decade of baseball operations, the Mariners weren’t spending big on free agent batsmen. As shown in the contract tracker of MLBTR, Mitch Garver It is the only free agent post player who signed multiple guaranteed seasons at that time. In addition to Garver $24mm margin, last offseason year, 7.75mm consent Jorge Polanco It was their second biggest deal for free agent batsmen.
Naylor entered his 29-year-old season. He won’t be attached to draft compensation as mid-season trade leaves him ineligible for a qualified offer. Although the team generally reluctance to sign long-term contracts, he should easily surpass the Garver contract and have the opportunity to get a four-year contract. Naylor has carried the slashes that appeared above 2000 over the past four seasons. His plus touch skills provide him a solid offensive layer, and he has reasonable bets for over 20 home runs every year. His gloves are on the league average, and despite being one of the slowest players in the sport, the stolen base abilities this year show a better basic intuition than expected based on his physique.
Dipoto generally (not talking about Naylor alone) talks about the group’s lack of free agent activity on offense. “I don’t necessarily have internal discussions inside. … We just can’t attract the right players, and we’re very happy with investing more than 2/24. We’ve tried it and have been a lot of time when we’ve tried it and have tried to recruit these free agents on many occasions,” he told MLBTR. “We’ve also entered the stage of development, we’re confident in the system and the ability to start ripping the position in the way we ripped the starter pitcher a few years ago.”
Seattle’s farm system does have a large influx of young talent. M’s rookie second baseman has graduated Cole Younghe showed a flash before the second half of the second half. They have five more players in the latest top 100 prospects in the US Baseball. However, none of these players are first basemen, and M’s deal Tyler Locklear Rattlesnake in separate deadline trading Eugenio Suárez. Convert position to Luke RaleyThe hurts encountered in the year are not ideal.
According to Rosterresource calculations, M’s salary increased their salary to about 166 mm from this summer. Their commitment next season is about 77mm. Features arbitration class Randy Arozarena,,,,, Logan Gilbert,,,,, George Kirby and Bryce Miller It will cost about $35-40mm. Seattle also has $6mm option Andrés Muñoz They will definitely exercise. Polanco will be able to return a contract option that could reach 8mm, although he likely rejected that after one of his best offensive performances in his career.
Seattle is unlikely to be a huge free agent, but there seems to be a space for offseason, centered around re-signing Naylor and doing some supplements. They may also shop Louis Castillowho will make 22.75 mm a year and earn two more seasons. Castillo was the subject of some trade chats last winter, usually a solid midspin, but struggled in the second half.
Naylor’s upcoming free agent is one of the myriad topics discussed by MLBTR and Dipoto this week. Seattle’s baseball action president also talked to Darrag about the number of trades he received the nickname of “Trader Jerry”, reunited with Suarez after trading him two seasons ago and resigned with Polanco, despite his injury, despite his increasingly difficult competition in the club and in a few teams, a growing harder time in five seasons, while a talented man with a few stand out in five seasons. forward
