Justin Turner became a free agent on Thursday after his $10 million mutual option for 2026 was declined. It is unclear which side declined the option first. Turner, who spent 2025 with the Cubs, will receive a $2 million buyout. (MLBPA Communications)

Fantasy Impact:

The veteran infielder will head into free agency after slashing .219/.288/.314 with three home runs across 80 regular-season contests in his lone year with the Cubs. Turner will turn 41 later this month and might have a difficult time landing a major-league contract.
