Turner and Kershaw could still re-sign with the Dodgers, while Trea Turner and Tyler Anderson receive qualifying offers
LAS VEGAS — The Dodgers declined to exercise the club option in Justin Turner’s contract. But the veteran’s time with the Dodgers might not be over.
The same can be said for Clayton Kershaw, who did not receive a qualifying offer before Thursday’s deadline. The Dodgers did not extend a qualifying offer to the free-agent pitcher last year either but he re-signed with the team in the spring, returning for his 15th season with the Dodgers in 2022.Players have until Nov. 20 to accept or decline the qualifying offers. If they accept, they return to the Dodgers on a one-year, $19.65 million contract for 2023.
Trea Turner is certain to decline the qualifying offer. The shortstop is believed to be seeking a contract in the same neighborhood as the 10-year, $325 million Corey Seager got in order to leave the Dodgers for the Texas Rangers a year ago. The Phillies, Cubs, Giants, Cardinals and Mariners are all believed to be interested in him, along with the Dodgers.
But Anderson might be interested in parlaying that All-Star season into more security than a one-year deal offers. That might be more difficult now with draft-pick compensation attached to his signing. Since the qualifying offer was instituted in 2012, only 11 of 110 players who received the offer accepted it.
