The Seattle Mariners acquired veteran Justin Turner from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, adding a proven bat with postseason experience to a lineup ravaged by injuries and ineffectiveness.
Turner joins outfielder Randy Arozarena as new additions to a Mariners team tied for first place with the Houston Astros in the American League West. Turner, 39, is hitting .257/.351/.373 with six home runs and 31 RBIs this season.
\"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.\"
