Bye Bye Christian Walker but Hello Josh Naylor
The Arizona Diamondbacks saw one of their franchise stars in Christian Walker sign with the Houston Astros. But Dbacks pulled off their own move by trading for first basemen Josh Naylor. Millard Thomas discusses how Naylor can replace Christian Walker’s production, how Christian Walker is one of the best success stories and where lands on the all time Dbacks franchise ranks, and what’s next for the Dbacks this offseason.

Looks like Pederson to the Rangers.
Dbacks have gained Josh Naylor but have lost Walker and Pederson. Still need a big bat or two.
Fucking damn it. Come on, man…Naylor isn't as good as Walker. This fucking sucks.
From 2021 to now, Walker has an 11.9 WAR while Naylor's is a whole 6. Walker also has WAY more hits (509 v 450), WAY more homeruns (105 v 75), more RBIs (327 v 305), and gotta mention the THREE Gold Gloves that Naylor does NOT have.
This is a shit deal. No idea WTF we're doing. We NEEDED to keep Walker. Jeez…
They need more pop in the lineup, and a legitimate closer. Get the Cardinals closer.
The only thing with Naylor is that he is a Left handed batter and we have so many of those. We now need a right handed bat.
