Turner signs up with another previous Dodger in right-handed pitcher Yimi Garcia that was dealt to the Mariners over the weekend. Heading back to the Blue Jays is minors outfielder RJ Schreck.

Turner, 39, remains in his 16th year in Major League Baseball, and continues to be an efficient player. In 89 video games with Toronto this season going into Monday, Turner slashed .254/.349/.371 with 6 crowning achievement, 31 runs batted in, and an OPS of .720. His OPS+ of 106 was 6 percent above league average.

Turner is now joining his 3rd American League group in the last 2 seasons. After his Dodger profession ended in 2022, Turner invested one year with the Boston Red Sox and a bit over half a season with the Blue Jays. Now, he’s completing the 2024 season with the Mariners as they continue to revamp their lineup before the trade due date.

Turner wasn’t going to be a choice for the Dodgers as he’s mostly a designated player at this phase in his profession. His days of being a star 3rd baseman lag him, as Turner has actually appeared in 71 video games at the DH area this season to simply 11 initially base and 5 at 3rd base.

The Mariners frantically required offense this due date, and have actually now included Turner and All-Star outfielder Randy Arozarena. As for the Blue Jays, they’ll likely continue to offer as the due date is a bit more than 24 hr away.
