It is that time of the year when MLB players probably enjoy themselves the most. During the MLB offseason, some players prefer to spend this leisure time with their loved ones, while some players who are free agents, try their best to land themselves the best contract. And when talking about MLB franchises, they also use this time to strengthen their roster. Recently, the Boston Red Sox, after having a poor season this year, signed a World Series winner with the Dodgers. However, MLB fans did not hesitate to mock the Red Sox’s decision.

According to the reports coming in, former Dodgers slugger Justin Turner has signed a deal of two years for $22 million with the Red Sox. The contract also has an option of opting out after the first season. And the fans are openly mocking Turner and the Red Sox both.

What are the fans saying about the latest signing of the Red Sox?

The 38-year-old slugger had played with the LA Dodgers for nine consecutive seasons and had also won one World Series with them in 2020. He had also appeared in two All-Star games, both with the Dodgers only. In addition to all this, he also has won Roberto Clemente Award for his performance this season.
