As soon as the Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 24, there was news that immediately followed that the team would be looking to make additional moves.
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman and leading trade-deadline target Eugenio Suárez exited Monday night's eventual 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers after he was struck on the hand by a 95.6 mph pitch, but X-rays on his left index finger came back negative. He will get more testing Tuesday, he told reporters.

Featured in this week’s MLB Power Rankings, the Blue Jays keep on rising, Aaron Judge is hurting, the Tigers are slipping, the Mariners make the first big move before the trade deadline, Emmanuel Clase is probably not on the trade block anymore, rookie slugger Nick Kurtz has perhaps the best game by a hitter in MLB history, and much more:
The executives running each team have wildly different ways of doing business — and this time of year, that governs which deals get done.
Josh Naylor just set a Seattle Mariners stolen base record. Yeah, 250-pound first baseman Josh Naylor. In Naylor's first four games with the Mariners, he has stolen four bases. He didn't swipe one in his debut, then has gone 1-2-1 in the last three games.

The MLB Trade Deadline is Thursday at 6 pm Eastern time. We’ve already seen a few trades over the weekend, and rumors are now beginning to swirl with more ferocity. However, while everybody is focusing on the big-name players who could change teams, like Eugenio Suarez or Joe Ryan, there’s value in focusing on the “little guy.”
The 34-year-old leads MLB in RBI with 87 and is arguably the best hitter rumored to be available at the July 31 trade deadline. The Diamondbacks, who fell to 51-56 after Monday’s loss, appear to be sellers and already traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners last week.
