It’s the end of an era for the Dodgers and fans following the departure of All-Star third baseman Justin Turner who is heading to Boston on a two year deal with the Red Sox. LA was rumored to be in on the veteran but it appears the two sides were just a bit too far apart on numbers.
Over nine seasons in blue, Justin Turner went from Mets cast off to All-Star, clubhouse leader, community icon, and World Series champion. JT was a character that, as Bill Plaschke of the LA Times put it, was never the best player on the Dodgers but was the very best of the Dodgers.
