Justin Turner, a former Chicago Cubs player, recently celebrated winning the 2026 Serie del Rey with the Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League. The team defeated the Olmecas de Tabasco in a six-game series, capping off Turner's successful season where he hit .295/.395/.469 with six home runs in 65 games.
Turner expressed his dedication to winning for Tijuana, stating his goal was always to bring another championship to the city. This latest triumph marks another significant career achievement for Turner, who was part of the Los Angeles Dodgers team that won the 2020 World Series.
The veteran infielder joined the Cubs before the 2025 season and provided depth at multiple positions. However, Chicago declined his option for the 2026 season, leading him to sign with Tijuana in April. Turner's experience underscores a career shift from MLB to international leagues, achieving further success.
