At the last minute, the prestigious article in The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal, revealed that, according to sources, The New York Mets would be interested in signing him at the former Dodgers base, Justin Turner, who after last year’s World Series title became free agent.
However, the journalist says that the negotiation has become difficult because both parties do not agree on the details of a possible contract in terms of duration and salary, so a possible renewal with the Dodgers is still a better option for JT.
Turner has been looking for a four-year deal and, according to Jon Heyman, MLB Network has four teams to choose from, including: Blue Jays, Dodgers, Mets and Brewers, whose franchise he has also signed twice, Gold Glove winner Kolten Wong. to cover the second base.
Turner, 36, hit .302 / .382 / .503 with 116 runs in 796 games for the Dodgers between 2014 and 2020. He was also the 2017 NL Championship Series MVP.
