After no MLB team wanted Justin Turner this offseason, the 41-year-old free agent signed with the Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League. In a recent article by The Athletic, Turner said the decision to sign with a team outside of MLB was made so he could keep playing baseball for as long as possible.
âIâve always said Iâm going to play as long as I can and make someone rip a jersey off me,â Turner said to The Athletic. âI love playing, I love being around guys, love being around the cage. I still feel really good in the box. On top of that, my family, my wife loves the games and loves coming to games. So I mean, baseball is not going anywhere, and whatever it is that Iâll do when Iâm done playing isnât going anywhere.â
