Diamondbacks acquire Josh Naylor in trade with Guardians to fill first base hole
NY Post
It did not take the Diamondbacks long to find their replacement for Christian Walker.
Arizona acquired power-hitting first baseman Josh Naylor in a trade with the Guardians on Saturday, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
The Guardians will receive pitcher Slade Cecconi and a competitive balance Round B draft pick in exchange for Naylor.
Naylor, 27, got his first All-Star nod in 2024, blasting a career-best 31 home runs and 108 RBIs.
This came after Naylor had a breakout year in 2023 when he hit a personal-best .308 and snagged a vote in the AL MVP race.
Walker, who spent eight seasons with Arizona, signed with the Astros on Friday to a 3-year, $60 million deal.

This may be hard to believe, given that he’s become the crown prince of New York basketball in almost every way, but it wasn’t even like this for Jalen Brunson.
