Mon Dec 5 202214:48Trea Turner, Phillies In Agreement On A Contract
According to a tweet from ESPN's Jeff Passan on Monday morning, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly "in agreement on a contract" with free-agent shortstop Trea Turner. Kiley McDaniel reported that the deal is for 11 years and $300 million and includes a full no-trade clause. The 29-year-old hit .298 last season in 708 plate appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers while also logging a .343 on-base percentage, 21 home runs and 27 stolen bases. One of fantasy baseball's elite options, both in general and at the shortstop position, Turner also turned in 100 or more runs and RBI with 101 runs scored and 100 RBI this past season.

Sat Dec 3 202211:02Padres Have Met With Trea Turner Twice
The San Diego Padres have met with free-agent shortstop Trea Turner twice in person before next week's Winter Meetings in San Diego, according to major-league sources. It's unclear exactly when the Padres met with Turner, but the fact that there have been multiple meetings suggests some level of mutual interest. The Padres have also expressed interest in another top free-agent shortstop in Xander Bogaerts. Turner is a candidate for possibly $300 million, and he appears to be San Diego's preference. The Padres already have two shortstops in Fernando Tatis Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim and two $300 million players, but they cannot be ruled out as a factor for Turner. The Friars traded Turner to the Nationals in 2015 and have indicated notable interest in a potential reunion in recent years.

Fri Dec 2 202211:31Padres In the Market For Trea Turner?
The San Diego Padres have plenty of offseason needs -- first base, a starting pitcher, bullpen, bench -- but major-league sources continue to suggest that they are indeed in the shortstop market, possibly even for Trea Turner. General manager A.J. Preller traded Turner to the Washington Nationals as a player to be named in 2015 and has coveted Turner ever since. To make it work, Ha-Seong Kim could move to second, Jake Cronenworth could go to first and Fernando Tatis Jr. could go to left field. But the Padres are already very close to the first luxury-tax threshold and may not be able to outbid the Philadelphia Phillies. Turner is one of the top fantasy commodities in all of baseball, regardless of where he lands in free agency.

Wed Nov 23 202200:18Trea Turner "Likely" Phillies' Top SS Target
Free agent shortstop Trea Turner is "likely" the Philadelphia Phillies' top target among all available players at the position, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Turner would provide defensive stability to a generally weak overall defense while adding to an already-strong lineup. This move would also allow for a reunion between Turner and Bryce Harper, who were former teammates with the Washington Nationals. The 29-year-old will remain a top fantasy option regardless of where he signs, as he slashed .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI, 101 runs scores, and 27 stolen bases with the Dodgers in 2022.

Sat Oct 15 202211:32X-Rays Negative On Trea Turner's Finger
X-rays came back negative on Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner's finger on Friday night, and he said he just jammed his finger while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt late in the Game 3 loss to the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. In the first three games of the series, Turner has gone 4-for-13 with two home runs, a double, two RBI, three runs scored and four strikeouts at the plate. But he's mostly been noticed for his mishaps on defense, recording two errors already at shortstop with the Dodgers facing elimination in Game 4 on Saturday. Hopefully, his jammed finger won't negatively impact his ability to swing the lumber for the rest of the series.

Tue Sep 20 202220:04Trea Turner Back In Game 2 Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) is back at shortstop and is hitting second in the batting order for Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Turner was hit in the back on a throw in Game 1 as a precaution, but it obviously wasn't a serious issue at all since he's back in there for the nightcap. The 29-year-old had a hit in three at-bats before leaving Game 1 to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. The fact that he's back in the Game 2 lineup is great news for fantasy managers that had him locked into their lineups after Game 1. Turner continues to be one of the best all-around players in baseball, both in real life and in fantasy.

Tue Sep 20 202218:01Trea Turner Exits Game 1 Early Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (back) left the first game of a doubleheader early against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday after he was hit in the back by a throw in the fifth inning. With the Dodgers having already clinched the National League West, it's highly unlikely that Turner will play in the nightcap against Arizona. Before departing, he had gone 1-for-3 at the plate. The 29-year-old was replaced at the 6 by Hanser Alberto. The 29-year-old is one of the most valuable players in fantasy and real life, so the Dodgers will be hoping it's just a minor injury. Turner came into the day slashing .304/.347/.482 with an .830 OPS, 20 home runs, 97 RBI, 93 runs scored and 25 stolen bases in a league-high 593 at-bats.

Fri Sep 2 202218:36Trea Turner Sitting For First Time This Season
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres, marking the first time this season that Turner won't start for the Dodgers. It is a bit surprising that they'd sit the star shortstop against a division rival, but the Dodgers have had the top seed locked up for a while now, and might just be giving their regulars some time off. Turner has been tremendous at the dish again this season, slashing.306/.351/.478 with 82 runs, 86 RBI, 18 homers, and 22 steals. He is the best five-category contributor in fantasy baseball. Expect Turner to return to the lineup Saturday, barring any injury news.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner recorded a walk on Wednesday. It was his first since August 1, bringing his 13-game streak without a free pass to an end. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the contest. Turner has reached base in 11 of his last 12 games and is now 15-for-51 (.294) during that span. Even as his offensive numbers take a small dip, he continues to boast massive talent and upside, making him one of the most appealing players to roster in fantasy baseball.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting at shortstop and batting third against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Davies. Turner was removed from the second game of the doubleheader on Tuesday with minor calf soreness, but it's not serious enough to keep him out on Wednesday. The 28-year-old star shortstop is currently riding a 10-game hitting streak in which he's batting .359 with a home run, four doubles, seven RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases. Turner is always a must-start fantasy asset when he's in the Dodgers lineup.

Tue May 10 202209:07Trea Turner Slashing .179/.233/.214 In May
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner is off to a slow start offensively in the month of May. Through seven games, he's gone just 5-for-28 at the plate, slashing .179/.233/.214. He has just one extra-base hit (a double) and he has yet to attempt a stolen base. It's been an underwhelming start to the year overall for Turner as he's slugging just .346 with only one home run. However, fantasy managers should be confident that better power numbers lie ahead. He currently has a minuscule 4.0% HR/FB rate. He's making good contact with a 46.3% hard-hit rate and a 90.2 mph average exit velocity, but his average launch angle is just 4.1 degrees. We should see the 28-year-old start racking up homers once he starts getting under the ball more consistently.

Tue May 3 202208:33Trea Turner Hitless Over His Last Three Games
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner had a rough time at the plate during the team's three-game series against the Detroit Tigers this past weekend.

Through 21 games this season, Turner is slashing .263/.315/.375. He's hit just one home run so far, but he's on a good RBI pace with 18 on the year. Turner currently has an average launch angle of just 2.6 degrees, down from 11.4 degrees last year. Once he starts lifting the ball again, we should see the home runs start to accumulate.

Mon Apr 25 202209:15Trea Turner Drives In Three Over The Weekend
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner helped the team capture two out of three games against the San Diego Padres this weekend. He recorded exactly one hit in each game to go along with a total of three RBI and two runs scored. Turner has a decent .279 batting average over 15 games this year and he's racked up three stolen bases. However, he hasn't been hitting for much power yet as he's slugging just .393 with one home run. Additionally, he's striking out more than we're used to seeing with a 24.6% strikeout rate, up from 17% last year. The 28-year-old likely just needs to get more settled at the plate. Expect for improved plate discipline and better power numbers to come soon.
