Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Justin Turner, 41-year-old All-Star and World Series champion, is playing for the Tijuana Toros in the Mexican Baseball League after failing to secure any MLB contract, minor league deal, or spring training invitation from any of the 30 major league clubs. After a difficult 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs (.219 BA, .602 OPS), Turner has revitalized his performance in Mexico with a 1.031 OPS for the first-place Toros. He remains committed to playing baseball and has become a significant attraction for local fans in Tijuana.
