World news – Justin Turner wants to be in this World Series dog poop

Justin Turner speaks publicly for the first time since the Dodgers won the World Series and celebrated despite testing positive for COVID-19.

The last time Justin Turner wore his # 10 Dodgers jersey, he was quarantined in a room in the home clubhouse at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, and encountered emotions from across the spectrum.

He was stunned when notified that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was pulled out of Game 6 of the World Series. Then he was thrilled when Julio Urías scored the final goal to win the championship that had eluded the franchise for so long. He then felt left out of seeing his teammates partying without him before joining them on the field to spark national controversy and drawing criticism from all sides for potentially exposing people to the virus. </ P "As I watched the boys in person at the dog pile, it felt like the third time I had to sit and watch a team celebrate winning the World Series," said Turner. "That was tough. It's something that is still high on my list.

 » I still wasn’t able to be out on the field for the last time to celebrate a championship. I am determined to show up and work every day and have the experience by the end of this year. «

Manager Dave Roberts’ message to Dodgers: Plan to play again by October

Dodgers pitchers and catchers held their first spring training session Thursday, and Dave Roberts reminded his players to focus on what they can control.

Turner re-shooting that shot with the Dodgers in 2021 seemed to be taken for granted even as he stepped into the free hand. The Lakewood native had risen from a nonroster invitation to franchise cornerstone for seven years and remained one of the Dodgers’ most prolific players in 2020. But remarrying wasn’t that easy.

Turner issued a statement apologizing for his decision after Game 6 10 days later, but wondered if the episode would affect his market. The third baseman quickly discovered, speaking with the Dodgers and other clubs, that this was not the case. That still hasn’t accelerated the process.

Turner’s time as a free agent unofficially ended on Saturday – more than three months after Game 6 – when he and the Dodgers signed a two-year deal with a club option for a third season. Turner went to Arizona when the parties agreed. He turned off the curb to post the news on his social media platforms.

His free agent stint officially ended on Friday morning, just minutes before he got into the Dodgers’ Zoom for a virtual press conference -Room at Camelback Ranch.

« It’s a place that has always been special to me, and it’s something that has never left me when I’ve gone through this off-season and free agent process . « 

Left-handed Caleb Ferguson was placed on the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man squad for Turner. Ferguson was operated on by Tommy John last season and is unlikely to return this year.

Turner wore a Dodgers hat in front of a Dodgers crowd. His red beard appeared in infancy. Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations who preceded Turner at Zoom, said the third baseman was in excellent shape before suggesting that reporters ask Turner to shoot the camera as evidence.

« LA and the Dodgers have a pretty big place in my heart, « said Turner. » I’ve spent the last seven years making a lot of memories and seeing my career really turn around and take off. It’s a place that has always been special to me, and it’s something that has never left me once I’ve gone through that offseason and free agent process. « 

Ultimately, the reason for the delay in Turner’s return was due to the length of the contract. Turner wanted a deal that lasted longer than two years and the Dodgers refused to budge, causing Turner to close the market to test when the Dodgers were making contingency plans for the third base in case it landed elsewhere.

« There are still many possible avenues going into the off-season, but for us all of our A-scenarios had JT Return, ”said Friedman. « That being said, we weren’t sure if that was going to happen. »

Turner said he had a world win in his job search Series prioritized. He found interest in some clubs. He said being courted was flattering. He expected the process to be slow, but was surprised by the Ice Age.

In the end, Turner was the most valued positional player on the market. The Milwaukee Brewers were the other controversial organization and offered Turner a contract. Turner picked the Dodgers deal, which, according to people with knowledge of the situation, guarantees $ 34 million. It includes a $ 8 million signing bonus and a club option for a third year.

« There were definitely some ups and downs in the process where some things happened that I wasn’t sure I would come back to would end up with Dodgers, « said Turner. “But during the whole process. . . It was quite comforting that the desire to have me back was still there. But there were times when I thought, « Oh man, this doesn’t look good. I’m not sure this was going to happen. »

Turner’s signing ended a late season for the Dodgers. Between Turner and Trevor Bauer, the Dodgers raised their competitive wage tax by $ 51 million, bringing the total estimated wage bill to nearly $ 260 million. As a result, the Dodgers are likely to face the harshest penalties for crossing the $ 250 million mark. Currently, as first-time CBT offenders, they would have a tax burden of about $ 13 million and would make their first choice in the 2022 draft to lose 10 jobs.

The club could mitigate the penalties by putting the payroll on below $ 250 million. Friedman said he was sure trade talks will take place during spring training, but insisted that cash transportation is not a priority.

« The steps and things we’ve done over the past three years now give us a little more Flexibility, « said Friedman. « We know there are some additional costs involved, which is not ideal, but we think the rewards outweigh that with the team we have.

 » We’re now at a level that is not sustainable, but we never see our payroll at any particular moment.  » We look at it over a period of two, three, four, five years. From our current location, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we ended the year here and we’re okay with that. « 

The money is paying off for a roster that is widely recognized as a favorite to win the World Series as the Dodgers seek to become the first team to repeat themselves champions since 2000. Turner is back to to help and finally get into this pile.
