Dodgers Third Baseman Justin Turner Returns to Los Angeles

Veteran Infielder Signs Two-Year Deal with Former Team

Turner, who spent nine seasons with the Dodgers, hit .296 with 137 wRC+ in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is returning to the team after signing a two-year deal worth a reported $34 million. Turner, who spent nine seasons with the Dodgers from 2014 to 2022, was a key member of the team's success during that time, helping them win the World Series in 2020.

Over the course of his 16-year MLB career, Turner has a .286 batting average, 193 home runs, and an .823 OPS. He has also been named to the National League All-Star team three times.

Turner's return to the Dodgers is a welcome addition to a team that is looking to compete for another World Series title. The Dodgers have made a number of other moves this offseason, including signing outfielder J.D. Martinez and trading for shortstop Miguel Rojas.
