Blue Jays Trade Justin Turner to Mariners
Turner Traded for OF RJ Schreck
Blue Jays Activate Turner from IL
The Toronto Blue Jays have traded veteran third baseman Justin Turner to the Seattle Mariners for outfielder RJ Schreck. The move comes as a surprise, as Turner was signed to a one-year, $13 million deal just seven months ago. However, the Blue Jays have been active sellers at the trade deadline, and Turner's departure is part of their ongoing rebuild.
Turner, 39, is a two-time All-Star and was a key member of the Blue Jays' 2022 playoff team. He is a reliable hitter and fielder, and his departure will be a significant loss for the Blue Jays.
Schreck, 26, is a promising outfielder who has spent the last two seasons with the Mariners. He is a good hitter with good speed, and the Blue Jays hope he can develop into a regular contributor.
The Blue Jays also activated Turner from the injured list on Thursday. Turner had been out since May with a hamstring injury, and his return will be a boost to the team's lineup.
