8 players who are entering their last month with the Blue Jays

Justin Turner

Turner is the game's oldest position player and at times has played like it. He has appeared in 75 games so far and has an OPS of .720 and an OPS+ of 106. These are both right around league-average but his red-hot start out of the gate this season felt like it was going to lead to more.

The 16-year veteran currently boasts a walk percentage of 12.8, which is the highest he's ever had in a full year. He's been finding plenty of ways to reach base, but just hasn't been the super efficient run producer he was last year for the Red Sox.

There's not necessarily a massive market for someone like Turner, but there's going to be calls made to the Blue Jays for sure. If a veteran presence who's still capable of producing decent-but-not-great on offense is an important piece to have, just like Brandon Belt was for this very same team in 2023.

Turner has 86 career playoff games under his belt, so he's just about as experienced as they come when it comes to high-leverage games. He's got 13 home runs and 42 RBI with a .270 average and .830 OPS across 368 plate appearances. There are going to be teams that see this track record and pick up the phone because of it.
