Just in: According to Dodgers Insider’s confirmación de esta mañana, the equipo has finalmente alcanzado el inaccesible objetivo de reunir OHTANI and Roki Saki.

Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner has shuffled around MLB since the two sides went their separate ways after the 2022 season.

Turner spent his entire 2023 season with the Red Sox before he signed with the Blue Jays for the 2024 slate. Toronto’s season didn’t go as expected, and the team eventually finished in last place in the American League East, so the Jays dished Turner to Seattle before the trade deadline to get a return on the impending free agent.

The Mariners and former Dodgers infielder Justin Turner have discussed a reunion for the 2025 season

Despite the small decreases in his offensive presence, Turner could still help the Mariners decrease their league-worst strikeout rate. Seattle fanned 1,625 times last season and could benefit from Turner’s 74th percentile strikeout rate and 82nd percentile walk rate.

Turner posted solid defensive metrics at first base last season. He clocked one out above average and two defensive runs saved in his 326.2 innings at first base. The Red Sox, Jays and Mariners tended to avoid playing him at the hot corner, and he’s logged just 90 innings at his former home over the past two seasons. Only one of those frames came during his Mariners tenure.
