“Josh Naylor Has Guardians Stink On Him” – Yankees Fans Are Highly Against The Idea Of Trading For AL Central Rival

Josh Naylor and the Cleveland Guardians have been long-lasting rivals of the New York Yankees. Both teams have had their fair share of battles on and off the field. Naylor has been a proud Guardian since he arrived in Cleveland back in 2020.

The slugger has played a vital role for his team over the years, especially in the playoffs. Likewise, Naylor has not stopped fighting hard and trolling his opponents. Naylor and the Yankees are poles apart since he and Gerrit Cole had unforgettable incidents on the field.

Naylor smashed a home run against Cole and rocked an imaginary baby in his arms while rounding the bases. Yankees fans were unhappy with his gesture, and since then, they have not liked Naylor much. Recently, rumors swirled online about the Yankees trading for Josh Naylor, and fans are highly against the idea.

Guardians Have A Chance To Make The Best Of Josh Naylor

The Toronto Blue Jays were among the other teams that showed interest in Josh Naylor. The Guardians see great value in Naylor and are expected to retain him. However, Naylor will become a free agent after the 2025 season.

Cleveland has a chance to trade Josh Naylor before he becomes a free agent. If the Guardians trade Naylor, they will receive a significant sum or lose everything in free agency. Naylor would like to remain in Cleveland.

The Yanks are on the lookout for some offensive power. The Bronx Bombers have enough cash to add another player or two. Cody Bellinger and Anthony Santander are one of the free agents that the Yanks are considering.
