Perhaps the Dodgers’ top priority this offseason. Turner, 32, signed a 4-year deal to remain a Dodger hopefully for the remainder of his career.

Since joining the Dodgers in 2014, Turner has hit .303, 50 Home Runs, and 180 RBI. Not bad production for a guy that was cut by the Mets after the 2013 season.

Turner has become the team’s most consistent hitter in his years with the Dodgers. Turner was 4th on the team with a .353 wOBA and was second in WAR ranking (5.6) only behind Seager. Turner also had the most home runs in his career last season with 27 and finished tied for team-high 90 RBI.

We’ve come to expect a certain level of consistency out of J.T. and I don’t expect any different this season.

Projected Stat Line:

.275/20 Home Runs/90 RBI/70 Runs Scored
