One former Boston Red Sox player is currently a hot commodity in the free-agent market. Justin Turner, who had an impressive season with the Red Sox, has opted out of his contract and is now a sought-after free agent.
While there has been speculation about a possible reunion with Boston, it appears unlikely at this point. Instead, the Toronto Blue Jays have emerged as a potential landing spot for Turner, as suggested by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
The Blue Jays are in the market for a right-handed hitter who can handle right-handed pitching, and Turner fits the bill. Other options include J.D. Martinez, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler, Tommy Pham, and Adam Duvall.
Turner not only showcased his skills on the field but also became a beloved figure in Boston and a clubhouse leader during his time with the Red Sox. As the 39-year-old looks to continue his career in 2024, the possibility of him joining the Blue Jays remains a compelling storyline to watch.
