Philadelphia Phillies has taken out the bag to take one of the most sought-after players on the free agency market and that was Trea Turner. The shortstop will move to the city of sports thanks to a million-dollar contract.
Trea Turner is one of the best shortstops in Major League Baseball today, possessing all five tools, something very few in this sport have. Due to this, the American demanded a historic and millionaire contract.
Staying just one step away from conquering the World Series ring, the Philadelphia Phillies set their sights on the former Los Angeles Dodgers player , with the mission of strengthening their lineup and ensuring the future of the shortstop.
The National League champion gave the American an eleven-year deal in exchange for $300 million. In addition, the same player saved a clause to be able to veto some type of change during this time.
Turner has an experience of eight seasons in Major League Baseball and during this stretch, he has been a part of the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers during this stretch.
Likewise, the shortstop has had enormous success in his career in the Majors , as he has won a World Series, a Silver Slugger , has attended two All-Star Games and a batting title. Something that shows what a good hitter he is.
Finally, Turner will reunite with his former teammate Bryce Harper, who were key in the Washington Nationals championship. Now, both could be key players in the lineup for the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies for many years.
