The Seattle Mariners are looking to make a splash in free agency this winter, and it appears they have eyes on one of the top free-agent shortstops available on the market.
Seattle has "checked in on" former Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner, according to Jim Bowden of CBS Sports. The Mariners have also expressed interest in Kolten Wong and Gleyber Torres, Bowden added.
Turner is one of the most sought-after free agents at any position this winter after an impressive 2022 campaign with the Dodgers. He joins a free-agent shortstop class that also includes Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson.
The 29-year-old slashed .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs and 100 RBI in 160 games. He also posted 27 stolen bases and earned his second career All-Star Game selection.
