Turner can earn an additional $2 million in bonuses this year: $1.5 million for plate appearances and $500,000 for time on the active roster.

That opportunity should not be wasted. Tucker will likely explore free agency after this season in Chicago. Hoyer is in the final year of his contract with the Cubs. Craig Counsell will have to make more of an impact as the highest-paid manager in the game. A strong farm system remains largely intact, leaving a lot of prospects for win-now trades.
