The Seattle Mariners have officially re-signed first baseman Josh Naylor on a five-year contract, with reports indicating the deal to be worth between $90 million and $100 million. This move marks a significant moment for both the team and Naylor, as he returns to Seattle following a successful period with the organization. The Mariners are demonstrating their commitment to building a competitive roster by locking up Naylor, a fan favorite, which could also influence the dynamics of the free-agent market, particularly affecting potential targets like Pete Alonso. The signing is seen as a statement by the Mariners about their serious intentions in the offseason.
