Josh Naylor Signs Extension with Cleveland Guardians
Deserving of a Pay Raise
After a breakout season in 2022, Josh Naylor has agreed to a one-year, $3.35 million contract with the Cleveland Guardians. The deal avoids salary arbitration and keeps the 26-year-old first baseman in Cleveland for the 2023 season.
Impressive Stats
Naylor had a career year in 2022, batting .266 with 25 home runs and 96 RBIs. He also led the American League with 14 outfield assists. The extension gives the Guardians a valuable piece of their young core, and Naylor is expected to continue to be a key contributor in 2023.
Praise from Management
Guardians President of Baseball Operations Chris Antonetti praised Naylor's performance and character, saying, "Josh has established himself as a valuable member of our team. His leadership, versatility, and production on the field are all important factors for us." Naylor expressed his excitement about remaining in Cleveland, saying, "I love this city and this team. I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue my career here."
