The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their playoff hero and fan favorite this past winter, Justin Turner. His departure filled a huge void in the lineup and, more importantly, in the clubhouse.
Nonetheless, that’s the business of the game, and the Dodgers understand that. The Dodgers went ahead and signed a replacement, and a pretty good one at that, in JD Martinez. Martinez signed with LA in December and will play a huge role in the LA lineup this season.
Not only will he bring his power bat to the Dodgers lineup, but he will be a great presence in the clubhouse.
