Deal Accepted! It’s Now Official: Josh Naylor (1B, Arizona Diamondbacks) Agrees to a 3-Year Contract Deal with the Seattle Mariners as Their New Offensive Powerhouse
In a stunning move that is already sending shockwaves through Major League Baseball, the Seattle Mariners have officially landed one of the most dynamic sluggers in the game. 
Just moments ago, reports confirmed that Josh Naylor, formerly of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has agreed to a 3-year contract deal with the Seattle Mariners, solidifying their commitment to building a championship-contending roster. The deal marks a bold and strategic play by Seattle’s front office as they continue to reshape their offensive core.
Josh Naylor, known for his ferocious left-handed bat, clutch hitting, and high-energy presence on the field, is expected to become an instant fan favorite in Seattle. Coming off a career-best season with the Diamondbacks, where he showcased impressive consistency at the plate, Naylor brings not only power and RBI production but also an infectious spirit that rallies teammates and fans alike. With his ability to hit for both average and power, Naylor will be slotted into the heart of the Mariners’ batting order, likely providing protection for fellow slugger Julio Rodríguez.
Seattle Mariners General Manager Justin Hollander addressed the media shortly after the news broke, expressing pure excitement. “Josh is exactly the kind of player we want in Seattle — fearless, hardworking, and relentless at the plate. His presence will elevate our lineup and bring veteran leadership to a young and hungry team.”
The Mariners, who are in the thick of playoff contention, have been looking to bolster their infield and offensive production. With Naylor anchoring first base, the team now gains stability at the corner and a proven bat capable of turning games around in a single swing. His postseason experience with Arizona also adds tremendous value to a Seattle squad looking to make a deep October run.
Meanwhile, fans in Seattle have erupted with enthusiasm across social media, already dubbing the signing “Naylor Mania.” Jerseys are flying off the shelves as T-Mobile Park gears up to welcome its newest star. The Mariners clearly believe that Naylor’s grit and thunderous bat could be the final piece to their postseason puzzle.
As the 2025 season heats up, all eyes will now be on Naylor’s Mariners debut — a moment fans are already counting down to.
