Justin Turner Remains Dave Roberts’ Priority As Dodgers Search For Right-Handed Bat

Early into the offseason Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman identified the bullpen and a right-handed hitting position player as areas of focus.

The team then went out and completed a trade for Corey Knebel, re-signed Jimmy Nelson and Blake Treinen, and reunited with Brandon Morrow and Brock Stewart on Minor League contracts. L.A. also signed Tommy Kahnle, but he likely won’t be available to pitch until the 2022 season.

On the position player side, the Dodgers have most prominently been linked to eventually re-signing Justin Turner. However, he also has drawn interest from the Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays, among other teams.
