My first priority is bringing back Naylor. At this rate I'd look elsewhere for production from 3B. My choices be.

A. Move Polanco over there or;

B. Let Geno Walk & try for a short term deal with Max Muncy. Dude is raking in LA. Wouldn't cost much either.
Agree re: Naylor. 100%

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.
$20 mil a season? He's put up 7 war over the last six seasons. I don't know, we shall see. The first baseman market is pretty thin

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.

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

Yeah, looking at it, that's probably realistic actually. See how it unfolds, the annual cost

I’m just curious why four teams have traded him.

Cleveland got a nothing pitcher for him.
