Departed Marlins GM wanted ex-Mets infielder who chose Red Sox

Former New York Mets infielder selected the Red Sox over the Marlins, much to the dismay of the departing general manager.

Jean Segura’s two-year, $17 million contract was one of many decisions she made during her three years as Miami’s general manager last offseason.
However, Ng truly intended to sign Justin Turner, but he signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the Red Sox, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Turner crushed .276/ with the Red Sox this season.

Ng said to Tyler Kepner of The Athletic on Monday that “it became clear in our discussions that we were not entirely aligned on what that should look like and I felt it was best to step away.”.
“For my time in South Florida, I would like to sincerely thank the Marlins family and its supporters.
