The Philadelphia Phillies are the odds-on favorites to sign Trea Turner if he doesn’t return to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but it’s going to take one of the largest contracts in MLB history to land the star shortstop.
Jon Heyman of The New York Post spoke to an “outside expert” that believes that Turner will sign for nine years and $275 million.
Tim Britton of The Athletic projects a shorter deal, but at a higher average annual value. His projection is an eight-year/$296 million deal for the two-time All-Star shortstop.
