The Mariners and first baseman Josh Naylor are in the final stages of working out a five-year contract, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. The deal will become official when Naylor passes a physical, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. WHDH’s Ari Alexander reports that the contract is in the range of $90MM-$100MM. Naylor is represented by ISE Baseball.
Assuming the deal crosses the finish line, Naylor becomes the first headline name of the 2025-26 free agent class to land a new contract, just two weeks after the World Series concluded.
