“I’m happy for Trea,” Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told reporters after Trea Turner’s 11-year/$300M free agent deal with Washington’s NL East rivals in Philadelphia was announced at the start of the 2022-23 Winter Meetings. “Love it. I’m glad he got paid a lot of money. He’s a winner.”
Rizzo did, of course, acquire Turner from San Diego as part of a three-team deal back in 2015, and the shortstop helped the club win the World Series in 2019, before he was dealt to the LA Dodgers in 2021 as part of the first stage of the organizational reboot Washington kicked off at the trade deadline that year.
