MLB TRADE RUMORS: Seattle Mariners interested in Cleveland Guardians 1B Josh Naylor

[@andyresnik9443]

Five years for Naylor is nuts. He might hit more homers now, but he keeps gaining weight.

[@DM-sc9rg]

He will be valuable for 5 years just as a dh

[@George50809]

Yeah, if they trade him, that is okay with me. I think they can get some value for him.

[@trellegion1997]

So does your mom, maybe we should trade her to the neighbor. I bet he would hit it right and she would come back into shape.

[@timh256]

Even if Bazanna is ready, they're not using a service year this year.

[@Elephant2024]

Of the available 1B/DH players who are available as free agents, the most affordable for the Guardians is wait for it...Carlos Santana. If Naylor stays, a combination at 1B and DH of Naylor, Santana, and Manzardo is not too bad. Plus you could play Manzardo some in the outfield as well in addition to 1B and at times DH Jhonkensy Noel.

[@Ryan_ind]

Jay would rather no one else talk but him tbh haha

[@johnbontea1353]

Hes only on once a week. He has great takes

[@George50809]

So the Guards have Bibee, Williams, Lively, Ortiz and whomever until Bieber comes back by mid-season?

[@bclaudew3]

cantillo and mckenzie yea.

[@George50809]

@@bclaudew3 Thanks. And they still have Logan Allen, who I sure hope they don't have to use or call up from Columbus.

[@bclaudew3]

@ omg . I totally meant to put him too!! Thanks !! I still believe Allen can be an adequate 4th or 5th starter in this league. I’d have no problem running him at 5 until Bieber is back or someone else proves they are better.

[@dakotalehigh7520]

It makes sense tbh. Clear a way for manzardo and get some good prospects. Although i would like to see him with us i wouldnt be mad at the trade

[@sonic-qh7ed]

ive been saying naylor to seattle for castillo and a outfield prospect then sign santander and we good

[@Dman425]

There is no way you are getting Castillo and a prospect just for Naylor

[@scottcecil5441]

Santander is garbage defensively. The guardians won’t overpay for someone who peaked offensively and doesn’t play the field well

[@jrjbertsch]

If the market is 5 years for $100 M. They could get him for $85 M. They are revolutionizing the free agent market. The AL Central is learning the tricks of the trade. 3 of the last 4 standing in the AL in 2024 were in the AL Central. I assert this is not a fluke it is a trend. The best teams are bottom payroll teams or top payroll teams. Teams in the middle are mediocre teams.

[@pamelavaughn547]

So far for the upcoming season, the Guardians replaced all star Naylor with 39 year old Carlos Santana (who's BA since 2020 is .199, .214, .202, .240, and .238) and gold glover Gimenez with a platoon of rookies/underwhelming young players. Somehow, I don't see Bieber, coming off of a major injury, and pitching maybe 100 innings making up the difference.

[@johnbontea1353]

One of the best guardians segments of all time

[@George50809]

Yes, and I think they are about to talk more about the Guardians, since the Browns are playing out the string.

[@johnbontea1353]

@George50809 i haven't watched live for awhile because it's been 90% browns and I'm sick of it

[@George50809]

[@keno33141]

Might as well trade Naylor for some SP prospects.

[@bobbrooks6478]

Is there any chance that Espino is going to a starting pitcher with Cleveland ?

[@trellegion1997]

No because he licks asshole

[@mbswolf2003]

They need to find another SP and a RFer. Hate that we always have to accept these holes in our lineup because they will not spend even in years following a deep run. Luck is not a strategy.

[@ericjencson9489]

If we had Yankee/ Dodgers money we could do that. Where does the Yankees money come from that cleveland doesn't have? Steinbrenner isn't writing personal checks for all of these guys. Everyone wants Dolan to spend a ton of money that he doesn't have.

[@ericjencson9489]

The Guardians aren't going to pay Naylor. There are other options at first base/ DH.

[@ImOutOfMtDew]

Please send his brother with him lol

[@ShadowSelf216]

Thank you. His brother is garbagio

[@mrcommonsense9074]

Hard for me to get over how the pitching staff was managed in the post season . Now you get rid of Gimenez !!!! I see 65 wins . Please prove me wrong . And please come back and ridicule me

[@johnbontea1353]

I put the yankees losses on vogt. I love the year he had but his management of the pitching staff was terrible. We could have beat the yankees or at least gone 7 games. Lively needed to start. And he needed to let them pitch 5 innings no matter how many runs they gave up. We had enough offense and bullpen. He pitched scared. And the team can feel that. The Detroit series fucked his head up. He acted like we were facing skubal every game. It's was so sad to see. And then pitching to stanton?? Like omg. Then he said after the series he would do it all the same again. Like hell no!!

[@johnbontea1353]

Starting cobb knowing he had 2 or 3 innings max. Trying to pitch your bullpen 6 innings a game. It was doomed from the beginning. And I knew it. He lied when he said he wasn't gonna pull his starters out like in the Detroit series. He told Tom hamilton before game 1

[@mrcommonsense9074]

@@johnbontea1353 John you are the first person I’ve discussed this with that understands what I was saying . You do not lengthen the game when you put ur best relievers early . That lengthens it . Your right I was taken back in the Detroit series and was hoping game 5 you do what u do to win . But he used the same game plan moving forward . Then he had that interview where he says you don’t change managing your team in the post season, I would have fired him on the spot lol That’s just me . But I see a huge setback this year . I could even see Jose waiving his no trade . That’s me prob over thinking . But let’s face it we won with no starting pitching last year . Which never happens . Now we are dumping mlb players .

[@mrcommonsense9074]

@@johnbontea1353 I didn’t know he said that to hammy . . From start of series against Yankees I was already on what we’re discussing . Jokingly I was saying he was managing like a liberal .

[@johnbontea1353]

@mrcommonsense9074 it's been hard for me to find someone who agrees with me. And I saw you had no conversation going. Idk why its so hard for others to see it. Losing andres bat is not a big deal on paper. But chemistry is also important. If bazzanna and manzardo don't perform well I could see jose asking for trade.

[@s.r.345]

Until the Dolans give up control of the team we are always going to be a farm system team for the real MLB. Getting a star player could mean the difference between playoffs and a World Series Championship.

[@swagquis7413]

Why don’t we spend money it’s horrible

[@kevinhendrix8786]

I disagree with the characterization that they are a "farm" team. Farm teams are not regularly making the playoffs. Maybe they haven't won the World Series, but a lot of teams are in that category.

[@biloki3079]

Like all farm teams, when the team starts to get good, all the good players are sent off to play elsewhere.

[@mrcommonsense9074]

@@kevinhendrix8786 I think we are going to see the results of dumping this year . This is diff . Lineup was already spotty . Starting pitching not good . But I’m a Cleveland fan so that makes me think the worst . And I think Vogt is the next Erik wedge

@@biloki3079 I think that applies to the Pirates and Reds more than it does to the Guardians.

@@mrcommonsense9074 Trust me, I am the same way and always expect the worst. But if you look objectively at them over the last 20 years, they probably have one of the better records in MLB.

@ yes your right What was impressive about last year was the balanced schedule. They had a great year . But for many years they played against horrible teams in their division . So they were lucky there . Which I argue they deserve that ! But I see a super let down this year ! Let’s look back and hopefully I was wrong .

The part where he said we are just a AAAA team and a feeder sytem. We are always full of potential prospects. And as soon as they are stars they are gone for more prospects.
