With Trea Turner’s return to Dodger Stadium this week, we had the first opportunity to discuss the former Dodger’s trip through free agency this past winter. As we know, he ended up signing a monster $300 million deal to join the NL Pennant winning Phillies for the next 10 years. But still, there was a desire to know more about LA’s effort to bring the shortstop back before he signed that deal.
What was the story of his first foray through free agency and was his need to be on the east coast a real thing?
