"Josh Naylor liked to play stupid games," said Stone Garrett, Former Player.
Garrett elaborated on the apartment environment and the specific actions leading up to the knife injury via social media comments on June 29.
"Dude would come into our apartment (we were neighbors) with aerosol and lighters multiple times, that wasn’t his first time in our apartment with a butcher's knife, the guy hid in my closet waiting for me to get home, when I went to hang my shirt up he jumped out with a knife pointed at me," said Stone Garrett, Former Player.
The incident resulted in an immediate hospital visit and a subsequent organizational effort to keep the altercation internal.
"It caught my thumb, sliced it wide open, I went to the ER (he waits for me when I get back, first question is ‘are you gonna press charges?’
) next day coach holds team meeting saying front office wants to keep it hush hush lmao," said Stone Garrett, Former Player.
Garrett required surgery for the nerve damage and noted the minimal disciplinary actions taken by the franchise before Naylor was ultimately traded.
"I get surgery (he cut my nerve, still can’t feel my right thumb), he got suspended for one game lol, two weeks later he goes to the futures game and gets traded.
He is the most psychotic person I’ve ever met in my life," said Stone Garrett, Former Player.
