Similar to last year, there’s no shortage of storylines for the Dodgers. Questions about their starting pitching depth and whether or not they sign free agent Freddie Freeman headline the narrative, but Trea Turner’s contract situation is an intriguing subplot.
This coming season is the final year that Turner is under contract with the Dodgers. If an extension doesn’t get done by the end of the season, he’ll become a free agent.
Before the lockout, Turner said he wasn’t going to “waste his energy” thinking about an extension until an official offer is made.
