Justin Turner Signs with Toronto Blue Jays
Blue Jays Acquire Veteran Slugger
One-Year, $13 Million Deal Announced
The Toronto Blue Jays have signed infielder Justin Turner to a one-year, $13 million contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Turner, a 10-year MLB veteran, joins the Blue Jays after spending the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is a three-time All-Star and is known for his power hitting and versatility in the infield.
The Blue Jays are hoping that Turner can provide a much-needed boost to their lineup, which struggled offensively in 2022. He is expected to be the team's primary third baseman and will also provide depth at first base and shortstop.
Turner's signing is a significant move for the Blue Jays, who have been looking to add a veteran presence to their team. He is a proven winner and brings a wealth of experience to Toronto.
The Blue Jays are hoping that Turner can help them return to the playoffs in 2023. They missed the postseason last year after finishing with a 92-70 record.
Turner's signing is a clear indication that the Blue Jays are serious about competing for a World Series title in 2023. He is a key addition to a team that already has a lot of potential. It will be exciting to see what he can do in a Blue Jays uniform.
