Chicago Cubs finalizing deal for infielder Justin Turner

Justin Turner has agreed to a $6 million, one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
Turner can earn an additional $2.5 million in bonuses, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract is pending a physical.
Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson praised Turner, saying, 'He’s been a really good player for a long time, and I think that he’s someone that we can really learn a lot from,' emphasizing Turner's experience.
The Cubs aim to enhance their infield depth, especially given Matt Shaw's recent left oblique issue during spring training.
