News summary

The Seattle Mariners have acquired veteran infielder Justin Turner from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league outfielder RJ Schreck. Turner, who has a .254 batting average with six home runs and 31 RBIs this season, is expected to primarily play first base for Seattle but can also serve as a designated hitter. The 39-year-old brings significant postseason experience, having played in nine consecutive postseasons with the Dodgers. The Blue Jays benefit by freeing up their DH spot and offloading Turner's remaining salary for the 2024 season. Schreck, the Mariners' No. 29 prospect, has shown potential with a .250 batting average, 12 home runs, and an .836 OPS between High-A and Double-A this season. This trade is part of a broader strategy by Toronto, which has made several other trades recently to reshape their roster and financial outlook.
