Justin Turner signed by the Cubs for millions

Moreover, the Cubs saved on some bucks as Turner is a much cheaper alternative to Alex Bregman, who signed with Boston for a whopping $40 million per year. Turner also looks good on paper after having an overall good season with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners, with strong stats and 11 home runs to his name.

Turner's history in the game has been of a late bloomer, and he began outshining from 2015, when he played for the Dodgers. He was selected for the all-star with Los Angeles in 2017 and 2021, according to AOL. The Cubs have been seeing some good run in their last few appearances and Turner's involvement would only mean that the team's game could see some major improvement, provided Truner keeps up with his hard-hitting form.
