Notes
	Let's start with the important part: Josh Naylor will not steal 30 bases again in 2026. With a previous high of 10, the 30 was a gift to managers who drafted him and will most likely be the outlier of his career. Naylor did sacrifice power in his time between Arizona and Seattle, hitting only 20 home runs after smacking 31 the year before. The .295 average helped offset this to some degree, but as a career .269 hitter, this is also suspect to continue. Even though he will only be 29 this season, the return to Seattle limits the upside we can expect. He's more of an avoid, unless he falls in drafts. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	Mysterious spike in stolen bases, plays in the toughest offensive park in the game, and a mediocre batted ball profile - I am passing on Naylor at his ADP. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
