Justin Turner expected to be shopped by Mets
Justin Turner - 2B - New York Mets
Feb. 18, 2013 - 6:35 PM ET

Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com hears that Justin Turner "likely will be dangled" as trade bait during spring training.

The reasoning is that the Mets could need to free up 40-man roster space, and they have other utility options in Brandon Hicks and Omar Quintanilla. Turner has batted .262/.330/.366 with six homers over the last two seasons for the Mets while starting games at all four infield spots.
