The Josh Naylor era has come to an end. Thoughts on the return?
Preston: The return was pretty much right in line with expectations. A pair of top-20 prospects in a good Mariners’ system. There’s a very real argument to be made that Izzi is the best pitching prospect in the system, and he probably has the highest realistic ceiling of any prospect not named Patrick Forbes. Garcia fills an immediate need. Yes, the team needs starting pitching more than it needs bullpen help, but the chances of getting an MLB-ready starting pitcher in a trade is something unlikely to happen, and if it does, it will be for Suarez.
