Jacob Turner takes the winding road back to Toledo

Toledo, Ohio — Getting to the major leagues is often a winding road. For a few stars, it’s a fairly straight line, with a couple of bends — but more often than not, there’s a bump in the road, mixed in with some unexpected twists and turns.

That seems to be Jacob Turner’s journey back to the majors.

Things are coming full circle for Turner, who was the Tigers’ first-round pick (ninth overall) in the 2009 draft. After logging time with four different teams in the past six seasons, he’s back in the Tigers organization.
