Dodgers star and fan favorite Justin Turner signs two-year contract with Boston Red Sox for $22 million
, Turner's renaissance started in Los Angeles, where he hit .296/.375/.490 during the regular season and .270/.370/.460 with 13 home runs in 86 postseason games.
Known for his long, red beard and clutch bat -- his OPS is more than 50 points higher in his career with runners in scoring position -- Turner had previously re-signed with the Dodgers twice. His first foray into free agency in 2016 netted a four-year, $64 million deal, and before the 2021 season, he signed a two-year, $32 million contract with a club option for 2023.
When the Dodgers chose to pay a $2 million buyout rather than a $16 million salary for next year, the possibility of Turner moving on grew. The Dodgers had continued negotiating with him this week, but when Martinez agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract, Turner's discussions with the Red Sox had accelerated. He joins a team that finished in last place in the American League East division last year and already this winter has lost Martinez and franchise shortstop
