Part 3/7:
Turner's role within the Cubs' organization will likely be as a versatile player. While he has played primarily at third base throughout his career, the consensus among analysts is that he won't be overexposed to the demands of the position at this stage in his career. Instead, he'll provide support as needed at first base, third base, and potentially as a designated hitter.
Despite a waning power aspect in his game, Turner displayed impressive numbers last season, finishing about 20% above the league average in various offensive metrics. His ability to maintain a .350 on-base percentage and deliver quality at-bats makes him a valuable asset for the Cubs, even if the sheer number of home runs isn’t what it once was.
