Former Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Justin Turner has finally found himself a new contract as he agrees to a deal with the Chicago Cubs.
Turner has been looking for a contract for quite some time now and gained a bit of interest towards the end of the off-season but there were definitely not a ton of teams looking for his services.
The Chicago Cubs announced this morning that they have agreed to a one year deal with Blue Jays former third baseman Justin Turner worth $6 million as he comes in as a replacement after they missed out on Alex Bregman.

MLB insider Jon Heyman also added that Turner's contract is worth $6 million but he will also have $2.5 million in incentives if he can hit them this season.

Turner did not spend a lot of time with the Blue Jays as he signed a one year deal last off-season and was traded to the Seattle Mariners at last year's trade deadline but he finished with 6 homeruns and 31 RBIs in 91 games.
The former Blue Jays third baseman is now 40 years old which means he is likely heading into the one of if not his last season playing professional baseball.
