"I mean, I think it's pretty obvious that the biggest chunk of my career came in LA with those nine years. The turning point in my career came when I put the Dodgers uniform on. The one title I won was with the Dodgers. That's definitely, I think, I don't even want to get down to that yet but it's probably a slam dunk that [retiring with the Dodgers on a one-day contract] will happen that way."
"For nine years, Turner was among the team leaders. He made two All-Star appearances during this stretch, won the 2017 NLCS MVP Award, and was a core member of the 2020 World Series winning team. He's since featured for four other ballclubs (Cubs, Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox). However, his impact and imprint on this franchise is undeniable."
Justin Turner rose from a little-used utility role to become a key Los Angeles Dodgers leader over nine seasons, earning two All-Star selections, 2017 NLCS MVP and a 2020 World Series ring. Turner later played for the Cubs, Mariners, Blue Jays and Red Sox while maintaining a strong Southern California community presence and hosting his ninth annual Justin Turner Foundation Golf Classic in Thousand Oaks. Now a free agent nearing his 41st birthday, Turner indicated retiring with the Dodgers on a one-day contract would probably be a slam dunk. He hit .219 with three homers and 18 RBIs for the Cubs this year.
