When the Mets let him go, they also "leaked" that he didn't hustle and was a clubhouse cancer -- neither of which were apparently true.
No team wanted to touch him.
Then, in January 2014, bench coach Tim Wallach saw Turner hitting at a CSU Fullerton alumni game, and thought he looked too good to be out of work.
He asked Turner if he wanted to play for the Dodgers, pulled some strings, and the rest is history.
He's good defensively, too.
He and Jansen almost walked this year, as both were free agents, but they decided nearly simultaneously to return to the Dodgers. (The two are good friends.)
