One of several questions the Dodgers have to answer this offseason — in fact, one of the first — is whether to exercise their $16 million team option on third baseman Justin Turner or pay the $2 million buyout. Turner, who has spent the last nine seasons as a Dodger and turns 38 later this month, is coming off his worst offensive season in Los Angeles, although his numbers the last three months of the season were as good as ever.
On Thursday, Turner was a guest on AM570’s Roggin & Rodney show, and after JT reiterated that he hasn’t heard anything from the Dodgers yet regarding their plans, Fred Roggin asked him if he’d want to play somewhere else if Los Angeles doesn’t pick up his option.
