The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.
Although the news was not yet confirmed by the teams, reports indicated that the Mariners would send left-handed pitcher Brandyn Garcia and right-hander Ashton Izzi to Arizona.
After being traded from the Cleveland Guardians during the offseason with one year left on his contract, Naylor batted .292 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 93 games for the Diamondbacks.
He is a career .267 hitter with 95 homers and 402 RBIs across seven major league seasons, including stops with the San Diego Padres (2019-20), Cleveland (2020-24) and Arizona (2025).
Garcia, Seattle’s No. 13 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut on Monday. In two games as a reliever for the Mariners, he logged two innings, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits with a strikeout and three walks.
Garcia, 25, made a combined 32 appearances in Double-A and Triple-A this year, going 5-4 with five saves and a 3.51 ERA.
Izzi, the Mariners’ 16th-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, has spent the season with high Class-A Everett. In 12 games, all starts, the 21-year-old went 2-4 with a 5.51 ERA and 54 strikeouts over 47 1/3 innings.
