1. Justin Turner

Oh, Justin Turner. He has given fans a true 2020 story after returning to the field to celebrate with his teammates after already being removed for a positive COVID-19 test.

MLB may try to discipline the veteran, but that moment should have impact the Dodgers’ decision-making on him. Turner just finished a four-year deal worth $64 million and will turn 36 years old in a few weeks.

The decision will come down to how much money Turner demands. He could easily get a multi-year deal on the open market from a team desperate to add experienced talent in chase of a World Series.

But what if the Dodgers trade for someone like Francisco Lindor? Could they do so and slide Corey Seager over to third base? There are so many questions and it’s not like the Dodgers can’t afford to pay Turner. They may just not want to do so if they can add more elite talent.

Next. 3 trades the Dodgers can make to repeat. dark

Turner has spent seven seasons with the Dodgers and hit .307 in the shortened regular season. It just doesn’t seem likely the Dodgers will want to give someone his age a multi-year deal when they can hand one out to a younger player with more upside.
