⚾🔥 The hot stove is on fire! The Phillies were hot after Trea Turner and the entire baseball world knew it. They’ve landed their prized target, NBCSPhilly confirmed.
Turner is reunited in Philadelphia with former Nationals teammate Bryce Harper and hitting coach Kevin Long. Harper has been open about his desire to again play with Turner, the dynamic 29-year-old shortstop with table-setting and run-producing skills.
Over the last three seasons, Turner has hit .316/.364/.514, averaging 39 doubles, 27 homers and 31 stolen bases per 162 games. He hits lefties and righties, he plays solid defense, he's one of the game's best baserunners and he's performed in high-pressure moments for the 2019 Nationals and 2021-22 Dodgers.
The contract averages just under $27.3 million and takes Turner through his age-41 season. Harper is signed through his age-39 season.
