Sailor’s acquisition Josh Naylor Given how Naylor brings Seattle to Al West Crown and first-round playoff goodbye, it looks like one of the key moves of the 2025 season. But M’s isn’t the only team looking to land on Naylor, as Bob NightEngale of the United States Today wrote that the Reds “close” to trade, earning the first baseman from the Rattlers.
What the Reds offer is not clear, or Cincinnati is the runner-up in trade negotiations. It is worth noting that the Rattlesnakes decided to complete the Naylor Trade decision on July 24 (a week before the July 31 trade deadline). Arizona may just like sailor quotes (young pitchers Brandin Garcia and Ashton Izzi) Enough feeling that it feels that the Reds or any other team will not board it, or that the Reds have no chance to have potential counters. Mike Hazen, general manager of the Rattlesnakes, and Jerry Dipoto, president of baseball business, are also frequent trading partners and have a well-established rapport, while Arizona’s trade history with Cincinnati has been very little in recent years.
The Reds are known to look for extra bats in the middle of the season, Miguel Andujar The part-time role has performed very well since getting it from track and field. However, other former currency transactions in Cincinnati make the team pitch more (Zack Littell) and the third baseman’s defensive experts Ke’Bryan Hayes. While the Reds certainly hope Hayes’ offense improves with the scenery changing, his .239/.320/.348 diagonal was still inadequate, while his bleak number in Pittsburgh was only a little bit of a pace.
It can naturally be assumed that Naylor will push the Reds roster and that he will take over the first baseman every day. That will push the struggle Spencer Steer Taking a substitute or part-time DH role, this may also have an impact on how things work. The total year was tough, but hit .257/.366/.500 in the last 82 sets, and he saved his last best hit.
Obviously, if the Naylor-to-Cincinnati trade actually happens, there may be a lot of sliding scenarios, as in both leagues, the deal will have a huge impact on the Bandan competition. If Cincinnati’s bid for the final NL wildcard slots is indeed insufficient today, some speculation will definitely follow the moves that the front desk did not make on the deadline or last winter.
This is not the first time the Reds have been linked to Neller, as the team also asked about his first baseman who was still a member of the Guardian last winter. This long-term interest could lead the Reds to sign Naylor’s candidate in free agent this winter. Between Naylor’s outstanding performance in Seattle, his performance throughout the 2025 season and a record of greater success over the past four years, he will be in a healthy multi-year contract on the open market, so signing Naylor will expand the budget of traditionally the lower two-thirds of the Reds. Dipoto has made him eager to re-sign with Naylor, and several other clubs will certainly be interested in adding powerful bats.
