After 9 years in Los Angeles, Justin Turner left the Dodgers to signal with the Crimson Sox, which turned official final week. Along with being recruited by shut good friend and former teammate Kiké Hernandez, Turner was wooed by one other well-known New Englander.
As Turner confirmed on MLB Community on Monday, Patriots coach Invoice Belichick was a part of the Boston’s recruitment course of for the L.A. star.
“Yeah. Yeah, he did. He did,” Turner stated. “It was simply saying how nice of a sports activities city Boston is and that he’s good pals with [Red Sox manager] Alex [Cora]. So, I don’t wish to share all of the texts as a result of I hope I can get some extra of them. However, yeah, that was fairly cool.”
