Dodgers and Justin Turner agree on two-year, $34-million deal after long standoff

LA Times  

It took nearly the entire offseason, longer than anyone could’ve expected, but the Dodgers and Justin Turner agreed on a two-year contract Saturday to keep the third baseman in Los Angeles four days before pitchers and catchers report for spring training Wednesday. Turner’s return ensures his final act as a Dodger won’t be igniting a controversy the night the Dodgers won the World Series when he was informed during Game 6 of the World Series that he had tested positive for COVID-19 but went on the field during the postgame celebration anyway. He went months without a deal until Tim Wallach, then the Dodgers’ bench coach, saw Turner at a Cal State Fullerton alumni game. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner celebrates with Mookie Betts, right, after hitting a home run in Game 4 of the 2020 World Series.
