Julio Rodriguez and Dan Wilson talked about the Mariners trading for Josh Naylor after the team's win against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.

Nathan Eovaldi is slated to make his first post-break start tonight when the Texas Rangers host the Atlanta Braves. The veteran right-hander was scratched last weekend after experiencing back tightness. Eovaldi takes a 1.58 ERA and an 0.85 WHIP into the contest. He last appeared on the Sunday before the break.

Randy Arozarena is on a heater right now at the plate, joining Ken Griffey Jr. in esteemed Mariners history as a result of his great July.

Ichiro will be officially be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday, July 27, joining fellow Mariners legends Edgar Martinez and Ken Griffey Jr. in baseball’s sacred club.

On Thursday night, the Red Sox found out along with everyone else that first baseman Josh Naylor was traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Seattle Mariners. First base is a position the Red Sox have long hinted they could look to upgrade, and one of the few potential upgrades just went off the board.

Julio Rodriguez remains very much one of the most consistent players for the Mariners, and this feat proves that further.

That lead was built by a bit of body swapping, as Julio blasted a solo shot while Cal chipped in an infield single. Randy, for his part, swapped his belt but not his gains. A blistered, scorching, infernal, extremely impressive home run on one of the lowest trajectories you’ll see from a Mariner all year made it 3-1.
