What the shortstop aging curve means for the Phillies’ 11-year contract with Trea Turner

What the shortstop aging curve means for the Phillies’ 11-year contract with Trea Turner

In stretching out Trea Turner's $300 million contract over 11 years, the Phillies diluted the average annual salary for luxury-tax purposes and payroll flexibility. It's the approach they took four years ago in signing Bryce Harper. The length of Turner's deal, like Harper's 13-year pact, was predicated on economics, not baseball. But the Phillies…

Worst big-time free agent shortstop choice for the 2023 Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be doing more than just window shopping in the shortstop market this offseason, nursing a vacancy that's been a non-issue since the team acquired Trea Turner at the 2021 deadline.
