Dodgers: Old Teammate Pressured Justin Turner to Join Red Sox

Former Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was pulled by former L.A. teammate, Kiké Hernandez, to ultimately sign with the Red Sox last week.

Although Justin Turner is leaving Los Angeles, the move was exciting for in many ways. One of the main reasons Turner signed with Boston was in large part due to Hernandez. The pair played together for six seasons with the Dodgers before Hernandez left for the Sox.

Hernandez has spent the last two seasons with Boston and looks to take it to a whole new level now that he gets to play with one of his close friends.
