“#Justin Turner agrees to two-year deal to return to Dodgers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

LOS ANGELES \u2014 Justin Turner is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers, announcing via Twitter<\/a> on Saturday night that he\u2019s ready to \u201crun it back\u201d with the World Series<\/a> champions after agreeing to a $34 million, two-year deal.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old third baseman batted .307 with four homers, 23 RBIs and an .860 OPS during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.<\/p>\n

Turner\u2019s contract includes a club option for a third year that could raise the value to $48 million over three years. He will receive an $8 million signing bonus and can earn up to an additional $4 million in performance bonuses.<\/p>\n

The red-headed slugger hit .320 with two homers during the World Series before being pulled from the deciding Game<\/a> 6 after testing positive for the coronavirus. He infamously broke protocol by returning to the field after the final out and removed his mask near teammates during the celebration. MLB decided against punishing him.<\/p>\n

Turner became a free agent when his $64 million, four-year deal with the Dodgers expired after the World Series. He earned a prorated $7,037,037 of his $19 million salary in 2020.<\/p>\n

A late-bloomer after overhauling his swing in his late 20s, Turner has been an anchor in the Dodgers\u2019 lineup for most of their eight straight NL West titles. He hit .302 with 116 homers over seven seasons in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers are set to bring back essentially the same team that won the 2020 title \u2014 along with NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer, who signed a $102 million, three-year deal with Los Angeles this week. Adding Bauer and returning Turner gave the Dodgers a splashy finish to an otherwise quiet offseason, cementing the champs as a threat to repeat just days before pitchers and catchers are set to report for spring training.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
