MLB Rumors: Justin Turner Has Multiyear Offers From Dodgers, Brewers

The Dodgers are the favorites to re-sign the veteran All-Star third baseman, though the Brewers are said to be hopeful.

As the majority of marquee free agents have found destinations for 2021 and beyond, there are still some impact players left on the board. Perhaps chief among them? Veteran third baseman Justin Turner.

Turner's market appears to be heating up. The 36-year-old reportedly has multi-year offers from the Dodgers and Brewers—and perhaps others—according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman

The Blue Jays, Mets and Braves have also been involved, though Heyman reports those teams are less likely to reel in Turner. The Dodgers are viewed as the favorites.

In his seventh season with the Dodgers, Turner hit .307/.400/.460 in 42 games in 2020, with four home runs and 23 RBIs. He was 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs in the World Series, and has hit .295/.392/.507 in 72 career postseason games.
