On the heels of another strong season, Los Angeles Dodgers free agent Justin Turner was ranked among the top 10 third basemen by MLB Network’s The Shredder.
Turner placed sixth in the 2021 rankings, ahead of Matt Chapman, Josh Donaldson, Gio Urshela and Eugenio Suarez. The top five consists of Anthony Rendon (No. 1), Alex Bregman, Nolan Arenado, Jose Ramirez and Manny Machado.
With the 2020 campaign shortened to just 60 games, the 2021 list was compiled by taking into account a three-year sample. It also entailed The Shredder rankings from the past two years and Statcast metrics, among other factors.
