The Arizona Diamondbacks have made a significant trade, acquiring Josh Naylor from the Cleveland Guardians to fill the void left by Christian Walker's departure. This two-player deal involves right-handed pitcher Slade Cecconi heading to Cleveland along with a competitive balance draft pick.
Naylor, who had a standout season with 31 home runs, is expected to bolster Arizona's lineup, although his defensive skills may not match those of Walker. Meanwhile, the Guardians have signed Carlos Santana to take Naylor's place.
