After it was made official that JD Martinez would be joining the Dodgers for the 2023 season, questions about Justin Turner’s future immediately began to surface.
JD Martinez has some experience in the outfield but primarily appeared in the DH role. With Justin Turner still on the market as a free agent, he has been rumored to be a target for multiple teams, including the Boston Red Sox which is Martinez’s former team.
This move could make things interesting for both Boston and for the Dodgers who Turner has played for over the past nine seasons. He’s a seasoned veteran and LA fans would hate to see him go but it looks like the Dodgers are ready to move on as they declined to offer him a club option this season.
