Josh Naylor

First, I guess it feels like Josh never actually left, so we're welcoming him back to a place he's been.

As such, we don't have a jersey, but we do have five more years of Josh Naylor as a Mariner, which we're all thrilled by.

This was about as simple a decision as we could make organizationally.

After acquiring Josh mid-season at the trade deadline, the way he fit in in our clubhouse, in the community, the way the fan base embraced him, and frankly, a lot of the magical things that he did on the field.

I can't recall ever encountering a player with a higher baseball IQ, seeing things on the field that no one else really sees, and

You know, it's a special trait and he can also really hit, which is not a bad thing either.

So, you know, we're all thrilled to have Josh as part of the Mariners family moving forward.

Chantel, Nix, and the Naylor family now part of ours.

You know, we're working on Bo.

Now, with that, you know, can't thank Mark enough for the seamless way this all came together and Justin for the hard work that he did in negotiating the deal itself.

So good day for the Mariners, good day for the Nailers, and we get to be together for numerous more seasons.

So good for us.

I'm super excited, super thankful, super blessed right now.

Very humbled.

I can't thank my family enough for getting me to this point.

Without them, I'm nothing.

I don't get to this position I'm in now.

God is good and he's good all the time.

I just can't thank my people enough.

They are super influential to me, super positive towards everything I do.
