Dodgers: Dodgers: Justin Turner Accuses MLB of Planning Extended Lockout

Plenty of MLB players have weighed in on the frustrating turn of events with baseball’s CBA negotiations. On Wednesday, Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner joined his wife, Kourtney Turner, on an episode of Holding Kourt to provide his long-form thoughts on the MLB lockout.

Turner believes that the league tried to leverage the MLBPA to the hilt with instituting the lockout and then implementing a deadline for a new CBA.

“They went into this whole offseason with the intentions of shutting the game down and trying to put the players up against the wall and force them into a corner to make bad decisions and have another bad collective bargaining agreement.
