Ben Williamson was playing like a man trying to hang onto his job on Monday night, making six athletic plays at third base, nearly all of them remarkable, while going 2-for-3 with a run scored in the Mariners’ 3-1 win over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park.

Naylor is slashing .292/.360/.447 this season, with 11 home runs, 59 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. The Diamondbacks had acquired Naylor in an offseason trade with the Guardians, with the slugger coming off a 31-homer, 108-RBI campaign in Cleveland. Naylor, 28, is a free agent at the end of the season, making him a rental for Seattle.

"The Seattle Mariners, even after acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, are aggressively pursuing Naylor’s former teammate, All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez," writes USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
