It was up until the Shohei Ohtani negotiations that I had been a proponent of MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, who I’d viewed as a hard worker trying to be the next Ken Rosenthal. Now, I’m skeptical of his reporting when it comes to trades and free agency, but I’m compelled to invoke a rumor report of his from this morning because it serves our interests as San Francisco Giants fans:
Sources: Josh Naylor has been mentioned in trade talks between the Guardians and Mariners. He’s one of multiple names under consideration by the Mariners for an offensive upgrade at 1B.
