Today, the investigation involving MLB, the Dodgers, and Justin Turner’s on-field appearance following a positive COVID-19 test came to a close as commissioner Rob Manfred chose not to punish the free agent third baseman. Both Manfred and Turner released statements on the events surrounding World Series game 6 on Friday, 10 days after the incident.
Additionally, Dodgers team president Stan Kasten defended Turner in a separate statement.
The events involving Justin Turner during the World Series celebration unfolded rapidly and chaotically, and were ultimately regrettable. The Dodger organization takes the health and safety of everyone associated with staging a baseball game extraordinarily seriously, and are committed to putting in place better processes for future events.
