"Josh Naylor - 1B If Bo Bichette is not extended, Naylor would be an attractive addition. Although his power production decreased from a career best 2024 season (31 home runs and 108 RBIs), he was able to increase his on-base production. He slashed .295/.353/.462 with 10 home runs, 92 knocked in, and an .815 OPS with both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Mariners this season. He was perfect at 19-for-19 on stolen base attempts, although he is not known for his speed."
