Trevor Bauer’s social media behavior has been re-examined for incidents accused of molesting women and spreading conspiracy theories

Between last year’s Dodgers’ World Series and their previous championship in 1988, this town survived 32 years without a championship. Mugs self-destructed. Hitters stopped beating

The only consistent exception was Turner, who came to the Dodgers not as a high-priced free agent, but as a player on a minor league contract that was not offered by the New York Mets

This hard working town shared its story through its humble beginnings and enjoyed its down to earth demeanor

And when the day comes that fans return to Dodger Stadium, they can do what they couldn’t when the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the team’s championship parade

You can stand and applaud him, not as a guest player, but as a dodger

In a city that knows a good story, when it sees one, Turner will have a real ending
