SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Nik Turley never considered it might be time to walk away from his major league dreams for good.
Nobody would have blamed him if he did, given his long, ”bumpy” baseball journey that included 2016 stints in the Dominican Winter League and independent ball.
”I never thought that was it,” he said matter-of-factly while settling into his space in the Twins clubhouse Saturday.
It will be Turley’s time at last on Sunday, his major league debut for Minnesota at age 27 and in his 10th professional season – right at home in his native California, too.
