Congratulations to Josh Naylor of the Arizona Diamondbacks for being named the most influential Canadian in baseball, a title awarded by the Canadian Baseball Network. This recognition highlights Naylor's contributions to the sport, particularly his role in leading the Cleveland Guardians to the American League Championship Series last year, despite a tough loss to the New York Yankees.

Naylor, now entering his new season with the Diamondbacks after a trade, has the potential to become one of the top free-agent bats in the upcoming market as he approaches the end of his contract in 2025. Last year, he recorded 31 home runs and 108 RBIs, making him a player to watch.

The Diamondbacks are gearing up for a competitive season in the National League West, having added former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes to their roster. With the Dodgers as reigning champions, the Diamondbacks will look to challenge for the division title.
