You don’t see Turner plastered on the internet. He’s barely mentioned on national TV and radio shows.
This is a guy who hit .298 with 21 homers, 100 RBI, 101 runs and 27 stolen bases. He had a major-league high 26-game hitting streak, with four hitting streaks of at least 16 games. He finished the year by hitting safely in 132 of 160 games, a Dodgers’ franchise record. Turner is the Dodgers’ metronome, consistently doing everything to win games, and get on base. He has played in 212 games since arriving to Los Angeles, and has produced a hit in all but 34 of the games, the most by any player in all of baseball.
“Man, if you get to see Trea Turner play every day,’’ says second baseman Gavin Lux, who lockers next to Turner, “you appreciate the [expletive] out of him. You see how he impacts the game, on defense, baserunning, hitting, name it. Why, even when he was acquired by the Dodgers last year from the Washington Nationals in baseball’s biggest trade at the deadline, he was barely mentioned. It was really no different a year ago in the postseason. There was a fan in the stands getting more attention than Turner. Of course, the fan happened to be Soto, coming to Dodger Stadium to cheer for his former teammates, Turner and Scherzer.
