MLB News: Mariners trade for Blue Jays veteran Justin Turner

The Seattle Mariners acquired designated hitter/corner infielder Justin Turner from the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league outfielder RJ Schreck on Monday.

Turner, 39, brings a veteran presence with vast postseason experience, including a World Series championship with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020.

“Justin has been one of the most productive corner infield bats in the league for over a decade,” Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said in a statement. “With his track record at the plate and extensive experience in the postseason, he is a valuable addition to both our lineup and clubhouse.”

The two-time All-Star is batting .257 this season, including Monday when he singled in his lone at-bat against the host Baltimore Orioles and later was replaced in the batting order by Addison Barger.

Turner has six home runs and 31 RBIs in 90 games in his first season with Toronto, who signed him as a free agent to a one-year, $13 million deal.

For his career, he has hit .286 with 193 homers and 790 RBIs in 1,629 games for the Orioles (2009-10), New York Mets (2010-13), Dodgers (2014-22), Boston Red Sox (2023) and Blue Jays.

Turner has batted .270 with 13 homers, 42 RBIs, a .370 on-base percentage and an .830 OPS in 86 postseason games from 2014-22.

Schreck, who turned 24 on July 12, was a ninth-round pick by the Mariners in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt. Ranked as Seattle’s No. 29 prospect by MLB Pipeline, he hit .250 with 21 doubles, 12 home runs and 45 RBIs in 86 games this season between the Mariners’ high Class-A and Double-A affiliates.
