Josh Naylor

It seems that the Mariners felt their offer, which included a player option for a second year, was good enough to bring Santana into the fold, but Cleveland's trade of Josh Naylor changed things. Rosenthal noted that, on Saturday morning, Santana "flew to Cleveland to retrieve some personal belongings from his house," but Naylor was traded in the afternoon and the Guardians were quickly in contact with Santana. "Later that day, he agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract with the Guardians, turning down more guaranteed money from the Mariners." The Mariners will continue their quest to find a first baseman, but the options have significantly dwindled. They will either have to pay big money for Pete Alonso or agree to part with a starting pitcher like Bryan Woo or Bryce Miller in a trade, which they have refused to do as of now.
