At 36 years old some may be questioning Justin Turner and whether he is worth drafting anymore in fantasy baseball. But looking at his recent track record, there is not a whole lot to doubt, at least not in the numbers. Turner continues to flash some of the best plate discipline you will see as he consistently limits the strikeouts, sporting a 14.9 percent strikeout rate in 2020, on par with his 14.6 career norm. He also increased the walks last season and had a walk rate over 10 percent for the...

The Milwaukee Brewers are one of two mystery teams showing interest in free-agent third baseman Justin Turner. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays have been his two primary suitors. Turner is only considering contending teams but has narrowed his list down to four clubs. Milwaukee doesn't have a clear solution at the hot corner, although they could use Luis Urias and Daniel Robertson to fill the position in 2021. The Dodgers remain optimistic that they can bring the 36-year-old veteran...

The Los Angeles Dodgers remain optimistic that they can re-sign third baseman Justin Turner. The veteran infielder will only play for a contender and has four possible options, including the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays. Los Angeles prefers to do a two-year deal, but Turner is hoping for more years in what will likely be the final contract of his career. A return to the Dodgers makes the most sense for the 36-year-old after helping lead the Blue to a World Series title in 2020. He has been one...

The Los Angeles Dodgers may be close to re-signing veteran third baseman Justin Turner. The free-agent third baseman has tested the waters and is reportedly looking for a four-year deal that would take him through his age-39 season. However, Turner has been at the heart of the Dodgers success over the past several seasons, including their World Series title run in 2020. The 36-year-old has seen some interest from the Blue Jays, but it always felt like only a matter of time before he and the ...

The Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu, but their first third base choice remains Justin Turner. The veteran third baseman is reportedly seeking a four-year deal, but the Dodgers so far prefer to bring him back for just two years. The 36-year-old hit .302/.382/.503 (139 OPS+) in the last seven seasons with the Dodgers with 116 home runs and 28.9 Wins Above Replacement in 796 games. Josh Donaldson was awarded a four-year, $92 million deal from the Twins ...

The Toronto Blue Jays have been in contact with free-agent outfielder Michael Brantley and third baseman Justin Turner. Toronto already re-signed lefty Robbie Ray and are expected to be among of the most aggressive teams this winter. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moving to first base last year, the Blue Jays have a hole at the hot corner with Travis Shaw being a non-tender candidate. Turner slashed .302/.382/.503 (139 OPS+) with 116 home runs the last seven years with the Dodgers. Lourdes Gurriel ...

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will not be disciplined by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred for returning to the field to celebrate the World Series win with his team after testing positive for COVID-19. "We all have made mistakes as we navigated these unprecedented challenges and have tried to learn from those mistakes so they are not repeated," Manfred wrote. "With this in mind, I am closing this matter by applauding Justin for accepting responsibility, apologizing and making a ...

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and was pulled from the World Series-clinching Game 6 win against the Rays in the eighth inning after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

All Dodgers players will be given a rapid polymerase chain reaction COVID-19 test once ...

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner (hamstring) is back in the lineup on Wednesday. Turner was scratched from Tuesday's lineup as he re-aggravated the hamstring injury that cost him to miss time earlier this year. Turner will play third base in Wednesday's game, the first time since his return from the Injured List that he'll be taking the field. Turner hasn't skipped a beat at the plate since rejoining the team. Over five games since his return, he is 7-for-18 ...

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is reportedly dealing with hamstring discomfort, according to manager Dave Roberts. Turner was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup. It is a problematic ailment, as it was the same hamstring that caused Turner to miss a handful of games in early September. It would not be surprising to see the Dodgers rest the veteran infielder until the postseason. Expect Edwin Rios to fill in at the hot corner for most of the final week.
