The first base market has seen significant activity recently, with notable trades and signings. Christian Walker has joined the Houston Astros, while Paul Goldschmidt will play for the New York Yankees. Josh Naylor is heading to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Carlos Santana has signed with the Cleveland Guardians.
The Washington Nationals acquired Nathaniel Lowe, and the Texas Rangers signed Joc Pederson. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners are eyeing a reunion with Justin Turner, although his return to the New York Mets seems probable.
Turner, who had a solid stint with the Mariners last season, is a veteran presence that could bolster their lineup, potentially partnering with Luke Raley at first base and contributing as a designated hitter.
