The Mariners made the first big move of the offseason on Sunday night when they re-signed Josh Naylor to a five-year contract (pending a physical). He endeared himself to the team and fans immediately following a trade from the Diamondbacks at the deadline, hitting .299 with a .831 OPS during the regular season and .340 with a .966 OPS in the postseason, making him one of the Mariners' most effective bats during their October run.
But Seattle's front office, clearly poised to be aggressive this offseason, didn't stop there. Just about an hour later, they made a trade with the Dodgers to swap lefty pitcher Robinson Ortiz with righty pitcher Tyler Gough.
