Here's How Much Money the Seattle Mariners are Spending on Josh Naylor and What Number He'll Wear

The M's have utilized Luke Raley, Donovan Solano and Rowdy Tellez primarily at first base this season, with Tellez getting designated for assignment in June. Naylor has 11 home runs and 11 stolen bases, while also driving in 59 runs. He's hitting .292.

An All-Star in 2024, he helped lead the Cleveland Guardians to the American League Championship Series last season.

Here's other basic information you need to know about Naylor:

When will he arrive with the team?

Naylor is expected to arrive in Anaheim in time to play on Friday against the Angels. However, the Mariners will need to make a roster move for him. It's unclear what they'll do, but both Dominic Canzone and Miles Mastrobuoni have options remaining. Furthermore, the team could move on from Donovan Solano or Dylan Moore, who have both struggled.

How much money will he cost?

According to Spotrac, the M's are picking up the $3.8 million remaining on Naylor's deal. For a team that is notoriously frugal in the offseason, this is a big deal. Remember, they also added $4 million or so this season when they picked up Leody Taveras earlier this year.

What number will he wear?

The popular @NumbersMLB account on "X" is reporting that he'll wear No. 12, which was last worn in 2024 by Samad Taylor.

The Mariners will play the Angels on Friday night at 6:38 p.m. PT. Bryan Woo will pitch against Jose Soriano.
