The Dodgers’ Justin Turner went through plenty of things with media on Tuesday, including his thoughts on his contract. Lost in the urgency of that discussion though was Turner’s praise of young star Gavin Lux. The long-time third baseman had nothing but good things to say about Los Angeles’ top prospect.
In regards to how he spent his offseason, Turner was impressed with Lux’s commitment to getting stronger. He noted that he saw how often he was coming out to Dodgers Stadium in between trips to his home in Wisconsin.
I think it’s good for guys to get that offseason in training with our strength staff who obviously have been pretty important in my career and turned things around.
