If the Boston Red Sox hope to sign first base help at the trade deadline, their pool of options just got a little smaller.
The Seattle Mariners opened the 2025 trade deadline by acquiring Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 24, first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The Mariners will send pitchers Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi to Arizona in exchange. Naylor is on an inspiring contract and is a true rental for Seattle, who hope to make the playoffs for the third time this millennium.
The Diamondbacks, at the time of the trade, sit in fourth place in the ever-competitive National League West and five games out of a Wild Card spot.
