Reports: Mariners acquire 1B Josh Naylor from D-backs
July 25 - The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday. Although the news was not yet confirmed by the teams, reports indicated that the Mariners would send left-handed pitcher Brandyn Garcia and right-hander Ashton Izzi to Arizona. After being traded from the Cleveland Guardians during the offseason with one year left on his contract, Naylor batted .292 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 93 games for the Diamondbacks. He is a career .267 hitter with 95 homers and 402 RBIs across seven major league seasons, including stops with the San Diego Padres (2019-20), Cleveland (2020-24) and Arizona (2025). Garcia, Seattle's No. 13 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut on Monday. In two games as a reliever for the Mariners, he logged two innings, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits with a strikeout and three walks. Garcia, 25, made a combined 32 appearances in Double-A and Triple-A this year, going 5-4 with five saves and a 3.51 ERA. Izzi, the Mariners' 16th-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, has spent the season with high Class-A Everett. In 12 games, all starts, the 21-year-old went 2-4 with a 5.51 ERA and 54 strikeouts over 47 1/3 innings. --Field Level Media

Ohtani aims to break Dodgers' consecutive HR record as team hits the road
LOS ANGELES, July 24 (Reuters) - Shohei Ohtani hit his fifth home run in as many games to help the Los Angeles Dodgers secure a 4-3 walkoff victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, tying a franchise record and moving closer to setting a new mark when the team opens a nine-game road trip Friday in Boston. Ohtani gave the Dodgers an early advantage with a solo shot to left-center field in the first inning on a sun-soaked day at Dodger Stadium for his National League-leading 37th homer of the season. The Japanese slugger became the first MLB player to hit home runs in five consecutive games since Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees achieved the feat last season. He also matched the Dodgers' franchise record for consecutive games with a home run, a milestone reached five times previously, most recently by Max Muncy in 2019. The fear Ohtani puts in the hearts of opposing teams was laid bare when the Twins intentionally walked him with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, moving Mookie Betts into scoring position and Ohtani to first, where he represented the game-winning run. Esteury Ruiz followed with a walk to load the bases, and Freddie Freeman lined a single to left field that got under the glove of the diving Harrison Bader, sealing the win and snapping the Dodgers' recent slump. "How we got here today, showing the fight and willing ourselves to get Freddie an at-bat to win a game like that, I'd like to think that is momentum building," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters. Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with Los Angeles prior to last season, is the frontrunner for a second consecutive NL MVP award and fourth overall. After becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season last year, Ohtani continues to produce at the plate, leading the NL in runs scored, slugging percentage and OPS. He returned to the mound last month for the first time since August 2023 following a second surgery on his right elbow. Roberts has limited Ohtani's workload, with the two-way star pitching six times for a total of 12 innings this season as the NL West-leading Dodgers pursue a second consecutive World Series title. The Dodgers open their road trip against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday.

2-time Gold Glove recipient Nick Ahmed retires
July 24 - Two-time Gold Glove winner Nick Ahmed announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday. Ahmed, 35, spent 10 seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, then split the 2024 campaign with the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres before playing in five games this season with the Texas Rangers. He was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the second round of the 2011 MLB Draft out of UConn. "For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted to do was play baseball," Ahmed wrote on social media. "I got to live out my childhood dream and play for a very long time! After 15 professional seasons and over a decade in the big leagues I am officially hanging up my spikes and retiring from playing." "To all of the organizations I got to play for... Atlanta, thank you for drafting me! Arizona... calling me up to the big leagues, and believing in me for 10 seasons! SF, LA, SD and TEX... thank you for giving me chances to continue doing what I loved!" A Gold Glove winner in 2018 and 2019 while playing at shortstop, Ahmed batted .233 with 72 homers and 339 RBIs in 964 career games. "I will always love the game of baseball," he added. "I am excited for my next chapter and the (opportunity) to give the best of me to this game that we all love!" --Field Level Media
