Someone will do it. Hell... I'm probably being conservative with the 20M, could easily be more.

I can see a team signing him for a lot the moment he establishes residency with an eye towards also signing Lourdes on October 19. I'd bet on the Dodgers...
A: Turner is a free agent next year, so sign Yulieski option him to AAA to get him up to speed if he rakes you can then either trade Turner or just give him a QO and collect the high draft pick.
B: They have more money then anyone so a big miss is near irrelevant to them.
C: If they also get the brother they can send him to AAA for a year at which time they'll be free of Crawford's contract and a spot opens for him (Lourdes) in the OF.
