What’s next for Chicago Cubs’ Justin Turner beyond the 2025 MLB season?

The Cubs have 37 games left on their 2025 schedule ahead of Wednesday’s home game with National League Central rival Milwaukee Brewers. With the Brewers leading their division by nine full games ahead of the Cubs with five weeks to go before postseason play starts, Chicago needs hot bats and Gold Glove-like performances in the field to stay at the top of the National League Wild Card chase.
