Toronto Blue Jays
If there was a team besides the Los Angeles Dodgers that was expected to sign Justin Turner, it would have been the Toronto Blue Jays.
As the Blue Jays sought to improve their roster for the 2021 season, they had focused on several areas of the lineup, including third base, Although Vladimir Guerrero Jr. could hypothetically play the position, and has slimmed down dramatically this offseason, he is better suited to play first base or be a designated hitter.
That desire to improve the lineup has led to Marcus Semien being signed to a one year deal to play second base. This would presumably move Cavan Biggio to a utility role, but he could also be an option to take over at third.
As such, the Blue Jays could be out of the running for Turner, but there has not been any word that their interest has waned. He would still be a fit in Toronto, providing another solid bat in the lineup while improving their defense at the hot corner. His playoff experience would also be invaluable to a younger roster that is looking to take the next step.
The Toronto Blue Jays still make sense as a destination for Justin Turner. The former Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman would be an improvement at the hot corner.
