I really hope not. Turner doesn’t give you anything defensively. His analytic stats look better than his traditional slash line so I can see why teams may be interested but I just have a hard time seeing him as a guy Harris would want. At 39 he isn’t the reclamation project flip candidate Harris likes to sign. Plus the glove is something you can’t hide. Would you make him a platoon DH with Carpenter? Maybe if they trade or outright release Tork (which would be a shocker to me if they did release a guy under team control) I see a fit. I think they need to get a guy that can both help at the plate and in the field and not have to heavily platoon.
