Justin Turner

Nearly $200 million and exactly three familiar faces later, the Los Angeles Dodgers have retained a roster worthy of the top of the National League power structure.

Justin Turner is coming off three solid seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and one National League West rival is reportedly interested in signing him when free agency opens.

Even with the MLB playoffs ongoing, many MLB fans are beginning to look ahead to the offseason and speculate where the biggest stars might land.

It's not easy to take Justin Turner seriously as a star player. He used to be an anonymous New York Mets utility guy. He's now a Los Angeles Dodger not named Clayton Kershaw, Adrian Gonzalez or Corey Seager.

Seeing the season recently end, Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner continues to deal with a left knee injury.

Turner to Have Surgery

Tuesday, Oct. 20

The Dodgers announced on Tuesday that Turner will be having arthroscopic surgery on Thursday to "clean up loose bodies" in his left knee.     

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner tied an MLB record for most doubles in a postseason series, smacking his fifth and six two-baggers of the National League Division Series during Thursday's 3-2 Game 5 loss to the New York Mets, per MLB Stat of the Day.

Justin Turner can thank his helmet for this one.

The Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman's break for second during Andre Ethier's fourth-inning at-bat on Wednesday didn't look promising after Buster Posey's quick throw, but things got a little weird when he sent his helmet flying upon hitting the dirt.

The New York Mets have been pretty active in free agency this winter. Despite that Matt Harvey will miss the 2014 MLB season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, Sandy Alderson and the front office are moving ahead with their plan of infusing this roster with productive players to be competitive.

Last year, Ike Davis played in 36 games before he suffered a freak ankle injury from a collision with David Wright.

That cost him the rest of the season.

Coming into this season, Davis was expected to put up high numbers. Thus far in 2012, he has done anything but that. 

Hitting just .161 in 137 at-bats, Davis is looking discouraged. A slow start is understandable, but it's late May already and Davis has shown very little, if any, signs of improvement.

Normally, a team will have two or three players competing for a position in Spring Training. The Mets, who have had a hole at second base for the past few years, will have as many as six different players competing for the second base job. Each player has his strengths and weaknesses and will have a chance to win the job.
