It's not clear who between Turner and the Cubs declined their end of the option, but either way Turner will be paid a $2MM buyout rather than a $10MM salary for 2026. More to come."

Infielder Justin Turner will enter free agency after his mutual option with the Chicago Cubs was declined. The Major League Baseball Players Association announced the decision this morning. It remains unclear whether Turner or the Cubs exercised their side of the mutual option to decline. As a result, Turner will receive a $2 million buyout instead of the $10 million salary that would have applied for 2026. The buyout guarantees Turner compensation while freeing him to sign with other clubs. The situation may alter roster and payroll planning for the Cubs and Turner’s next contract negotiations.
