Dodgers who may have played their last game in Los Angeles

Justin Turner

What a ride it has been for Justin Turner, the Long Beach native, who left the Mets as a utility infielder perhaps most known for his red hair, and then came to the Dodgers to blossom into one of the premier hitting infielders in the National League. People might still be surprised to learn that Turner currently has the 22nd highest active batting average in baseball.

The third baseman has become engrained in the Los Angeles community through his charity work. Both on and off the field, he represents a big part of the personality that makes up one of the most successful Dodgers runs in franchise history (World Series title, or not).

Turner is set to earn $20 million in the final year of his four-year, $64 million contract that he signed before the 2017 season. He has produced 14.6 wins above replacement (per Baseball Reference method) over his first three seasons. With the cost of a win estimated to be ~$9.1 million last winter, Turner has more than justified his pay with the Dodgers.

It would be unfortunate to see his contract run out over a canceled season, although you would think the local product would be interested in returning on a new deal.
