At the last minute, The Athletic’s prestigious columnist Ken Rosenthal revealed that, according to sources, the New York Mets would be interested in signing the former Dodgers third baseman, Justin Turner, who is after last year’s World Series title free agent.
However, the journalist clarifies that the negotiation has become difficult as both parties disagree on the details of a possible contract regarding duration and salary, so a possible extension with the Dodgers is still a better option for JT.
Turner is reportedly looking for a four-year deal and has four teams to choose from, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, including: Blue Jays, Dodgers, Mets and Brewers, whose franchise also signed two-time Gold Glove winner Kolten Wong. . to cover second base.
Turner, 36, hit .302 / .382 / .503 with 116 home runs in 796 games for the Dodgers between 2014 and 2020. He was also the MVP of the 2017 NL Championship Series.
