A. Move Polanco over there or;

We missed the Alonso and Freeman and Olson sweepstakes. Time to go big on a top tier 1B and get aggressive. Based on market value I’d say 4 years, $88M or 5 years, $100M. He’s only 28 and is in his most productive years, so lock him in. He’s been nothing short of stellar for the M’s since we picked him up.

It’s early, but some of the pundits like Passan are predicting $100M is likely for Naylor (unless he goes with a short term contract) based age, production, and comparable contracts.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Aug 14, 2025 5:36 pm

It will definitely cost to get him. Maybe $20M per year is too high, but someone might pay it. M’a should ante up.

I’m just curious why four teams have traded him.HawkandMariner88 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 14, 2025 4:57 amMy first priority is bringing back Naylor. At this rate I'd look elsewhere for production from 3B. My choices be.

Cleveland got a nothing pitcher for him.
