LOS ANGELES – Two years ago, the New York Mets had no use for Justin Turner. Now, they have no answer for him.
The Dodgers third baseman has raked his former team for seven hits in the first four games of the National League Division Series between the Dodgers and Mets, including four doubles, for a .467 average and 1.233 OPS with three RBI. Those are the kind of numbers that have sweet revenge written all over them.
But Turner has insisted repeatedly over the past two seasons that he harbors no ill will toward the Mets, saying, “That chapter’s closed” despite the fact they left him an unemployed utilityman at age 28 when they made him a non-tendered free agent after the 2013 season.
