Justin Turner Traded to Mariners

Blue Jays Receive Minor League Prospect

Turner Hitting .298 with 10 Home Runs This Season

The Toronto Blue Jays have traded first baseman Justin Turner to the Seattle Mariners for a minor league prospect. The move comes as a surprise, as Turner is having a solid season at the plate, hitting .298 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs. The Mariners are hoping that Turner can provide some power to their lineup, which is currently ranked near the bottom of the American League.

Turner, 37, is a veteran of 10 seasons in the majors. He has played for the Dodgers, Mets, and Blue Jays. Turner is a two-time All-Star and a one-time Silver Slugger. He is known for his ability to hit for power and get on base.

The Mariners are giving up a minor league prospect in the deal. The prospect is a 22-year-old outfielder who is hitting .300 with 15 home runs and 50 RBIs in Triple-A this season. The Mariners are hoping that the prospect can develop into a future star.

The Blue Jays are making the move to clear up playing time for their young first baseman, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Guerrero, 23, is one of the most promising young players in the league. He is hitting .290 with 20 home runs and 60 RBIs this season. The Blue Jays believe that Guerrero is ready to be their everyday first baseman.

The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Mariners get a veteran power hitter who can help them compete for a playoff spot. The Blue Jays get a young prospect who has the potential to be a star.
