New Seattle slugger Josh Naylor plugged into cleanup spot behind Raleigh for debut against Angels
Pressure is a privilege in the eyes of new Seattle Mariners slugger Josh Naylor. The 28-year-old first baseman is looking forward to the opportunity to bat cleanup in his first game with Seattle against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.
