6 things to know about Red Sox infielder Justin Turner
Following the departure of shortstop Xander Bogaerts, the Red Sox have added a former NLCS MVP to their infield.
Justin Turner agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal with Boston on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Long Beach, Calif. native became a fan-favorite with the Dodgers during nine seasons in Los Angeles. He made two All-Star appearances and is the 2022 Roberto Clemente Award winner, given to a player both for his on-field performance as well as his charitable work in the community.
At 38 years old, he’s the oldest player on the Red Sox roster. He made his first MLB appearance in 2009 at Fenway Park during a pinch-hit at-bat with the Baltimore Orioles.
