SEATTLE — First baseman Josh Naylor and the Seattle Mariners finalized a $92.5 million, five-year contract on Monday.

Naylor gets a $6.5 million signing bonus payable within 120 days of the deal's approval by the commissioner's office and salaries of $10 million next season, $16 million in 2027. $18 million in 2028, $20 million in 2029 and $22 million in 2030.

The 28-year-old became a free agent following a season in which the Mariners lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Soon after Seattle's season ended, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto stressed the importance of re-signing Naylor after acquiring him from the Arizona Diamondbacks and called it a priority to bring the first baseman back.

"Ensuring that Josh remains a Mariner for the long haul was a priority for us," Dipoto said in a statement. "Josh's intelligence, intensity, toughness, and competitiveness show up every day. He's simply a winner."

Manager Dan Wilson also spoke highly of the impact Naylor had on the Mariners both on and off the field during his three months with the franchise.
