Major League Baseball: Boston Red Sox Acquire Justin Turner
Infielder Joins Boston After Stint with Dodgers
Red Sox Bolster Lineup with Veteran Bat
The Boston Red Sox have announced the signing of infielder Justin Turner to a one-year contract. Turner, a veteran of 12 Major League seasons, joins the Red Sox after spending the past five years with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In 2023, Turner batted .278 with 13 home runs and 80 RBIs for the Dodgers. He has a career batting average of .289 with 151 home runs and 611 RBIs.
Turner is expected to play third base for the Red Sox, where he has spent the majority of his career. He can also play first base and outfield.
The addition of Turner gives the Red Sox a veteran presence in their lineup and a reliable bat in the middle of the order. He is known for his consistent performance and ability to hit for both power and average.
The Red Sox are hoping that Turner can help them improve upon their disappointing 2023 season, in which they finished with a 78-84 record and missed the playoffs.
