Justin Turner 2016 salary arbitration preview

Justin Turner has had two very productive seasons in Los Angeles, including grabbing hold of the starting third baseman job in 2015. He is eligible for salary arbitration and due a hefty raise in 2016.

Turner's case is a little odd, in that he was non-tendered after 2013 by the Mets when he was first eligible for salary arbitration. The Dodgers scooped him up on a minor-league deal, with Turner earning $1 million in base salary in his first season with Los Angeles.

That artificially lowered Turner's start in arbitration, which could affect the other two years through the process.
