Cherry on top of the Max Scherzer trade, Dodgers’ Trea Turner had an MVP-level season

LA Times  

Dodgers’ Trea Turner follows through on his grand slam against the Milwaukee Brewers in the regular-season finale on Sunday at Dodger Stadium. When the Dodgers and Washington Nationals finalized their blockbuster trade-deadline deal in July, Trea Turner’s inclusion felt like an added bonus. Dodgers’ Trea Turner reacts as he runs the bases after hitting a grand slam against the Milwaukee Brewers on Oct. 1 at Dodger Stadium. While the rest of the Dodgers’ once-loaded lineup is facing question marks — Max Muncy is hurt, Cody Bellinger is still struggling to rediscover his old form and others have cooled off down the stretch — Turner has become a primary focal point of their offense, batting third in the lineup over the final 22 games “Just feel like I’m more consistent with my leg kick and my load,” Turner said of his strong finish to the regular season. “Whether it’s a slow roller or it’s the homer, the double in the gap or the walk,” Roberts said, “he just creates tension.” Turner is also only one of two Dodgers hitters who has experienced a wild-card game before, having homered in the 2019 NL wild-card game to help the Nationals kickstart their World Series run.
