Another Bat

The Mariners pick up Justin Turner from the Blue Jays:

“Justin has been one of the most productive corner infield bats in the league for over a decade,” Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said. “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 Blue Jays will receive Double-A outfielder RJ Schreck in the deal.

Turner is likely to be the first baseman DH for the Mariners. Neither of those positions hit well for the team.

Shreck owns a .371 OBP in the minors. At 23 years old, he could be MLB ready soon.
