The Mariners acquired Turner from the Blue Jays on Monday in exchange for outfielder RJ Schreck, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Turner was mysteriously pulled from the first game of Monday's doubleheader in Baltimore after just one plate appearance, and the trade with the Mariners ending up being the reasoning behind his early exit. The 39-year-old will give Seattle an everyday option at first base and/or designated hitter, and while he's struggled to a .257/.351/.373 slash line for the season as a member of the Blue Jays, he should still help upgrade a slumping lineup. Seattle will absorb the $4.3 million remaining on Turner's $13 million salary for 2024, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.
