Justin Turner is returning for his age-40 season and will sign a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs, per several sources.
The deal is for $6 million and Turner can also earn up to an extra $2.5 million in incentives. Turner spent 2024 with the Blue Jays and Mariners, batting .259 with a 117 wRC+ in 139 games. He only hit 11 home runs last season, but 24 doubles showed plenty of raw power left in the tank.
He’ll look to continue that with the Cubs, his seventh career team. Turner spent nine years with the Dodgers and won a World Series in 2020, and has also played for the Orioles, Mets, and Red Sox.
