Trea Turner Rumors: Phillies Viewed as Favorites to Sign Star SS in MLB Free Agency

Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly "viewed as the favorites" to sign superstar shortstop Trea Turner.

Turner is coming off a 2022 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He posted a .298/.343/.466 slash line with 21 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 160 games. His 31.6 WAR since 2016, when he enjoyed a 13-homer, 33-steal breakout season, ranks 10th among all MLB hitters. Turner is an East Coast guy, but he's open to anything in free agency. If he joins the Philadelphia Phillies, it could shift the balance of power in the National League. The Atlanta Braves, who've captured the division title five straight years, and New York Mets are also top-tier contenders in 2023.
