Part 6/7:
The Cubs' offense is expected to rise in efficacy thanks to this signing. Historically, they have shown potential, finishing mid-pack in runs scored last season, but now they hope to solidify their standing as a top 10 offense in the league. Turner’s ability to get on base and deliver solid performances—especially late in games—can provide the Cubs with a much-needed offensive spark.
Furthermore, his expertise comes at a crucial juncture for young talents like Bush and Shaw. Turner can guide them through the intricacies of being a professional baseball player, from preparation to game-day strategies. Having a role model with a wealth of knowledge on the field can greatly impact the career trajectory of these emerging players.
